Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to assess 2 different initial incubator humidification protocols for infants \<25 weeks' gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The hypothesis is that a higher starting humidity decreases dehydration and results in no difference in survival or morbidity. Higher (90%) and lower (70%) starting humidity will be compared.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Inborn infant of \<25 weeks' gestation admitted to the NICU Exclusion Criteria: * Infants with known congenital skin conditions * Outborn infants * Infants with unknown gestational age prior to birth
