A soft, warm hug for baby's head.
The DandleLION Thermal Hat helps keep newborns from getting cold after delivery, during procedures, transport and in the theatre. The quiet Polyethylene Liner (not made with natural rubber latex) is encased between two layers of soft yarn so it never touches the baby. The plastic is stitched securely at the top with overlapping side panels that adjust to the size of the baby’s head without compromising the thermal barrier.

Hypothermia is a serious problem for low birthweight infants, newborns, and infants undergoing surgical procedures in an uncontrolled thermal environment. The surface area of the head is about 20% of the total body surface and is a major source of heat loss. New standards for very premature infants recommend aggressive measures for thermal regulation and humidity immediately following birth. Thermal hats have been shown to make a difference!
