Skin is a barrier that provides protection from infection, helps control body temperature, and prevents water loss. A  preemies is at a greater risk for infection and the loss of heat and water  through the skin. That's why it's important to keep your preemie's skin  healthy and intact. A premature baby's skin is not as fully mature as a  full-term newborn, so a preemie's skin needs extra care.  https://www.beborganic.com https://thebeautyadvisorshow.blogspot.com/2019/02/taking-care-of-baby-skin.html
