Monitoring the newborn inside the BabyWrap™
Monitor the breathing and skin color of the newborn through the observation window on the
BabyWrap™.
To check the temperature using a thermometer, loosen the BabyWrap™ as necessary to collect the
axillary temperature.
To check the temperature of the newborn by hand, loosen or remove the tail flap and feel the
newborn’s feet.
NOTE
The BabyWrap™ (and WarmPak™) will maintain the operating temperature for at least 4 hrs in
normal operating conditions

It is therefore imperative to keep monitoring the WarmPak™ temperature indicator (every 30
minutes) to ensure that the WarmPak™ is within the operating temperature range.
. In colder environments the WarmPak™ may not last as long and may
need to be replaced with a freshly heated WarmPak™ sooner than the 4 hour recommendation.
It is also imperative to periodically monitor the newborn’s vitals while in the BabyWrap™ to ensure
that it is healthy, and to pre-empt sudden changes in the vitals.
See Table 1 in TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS for details on WarmPak™ performance at different
ambient temperatures.
