title: Use of thermographic imaging to study babies sleeping at home.
abstract: Two 3 month old infants sleeping under different thermal conditions were found to maintain similar deep body temperatures. Thermographic imaging suggested that though the uncovered head is the main source of heat transfer, other parts of the body such as the hands may be used when necessary.
