Placing crib close to nursery window for family viewing-heat loss by radiation occurs when the infants crib is placed too near cold walls or windows. thus placing the newborns crib close to the viewing window would be least effective. body heat is lost through evaporation during bathing. placing the infant under the radiant warmer after bathing will assist the infant to be rewarmed. covering the scale with a warmed blanket prior to weighing prevents heat loss through conduction. a knit cap prevents heat loss from the head a large head, a large body surface area of the newborns body.
