Is a type of cot made from clear plastic and that has a lid. It is specially adapted to allow baby to be nursed naked (except for a nappy) in a warm and sometimes humidified environment; this permits staff to closely monitor your baby. Depending on baby's needs, oxygen can be given directly into the incubator. The incubator is used most often for babies born prematurely or those who require phototherapy.
