Control Group
After the baby's diaper is changed, an oxygen hose placed inside the diaper will provide free oxygen flow to the diaper area. Oxygen will be applied for 1 hour at each diaper change at a flow rate of 5L/min and at a concentration of 21% FiO2 which is equivalent to room air.
This group will only receive routine care: Diaper will be changed using disposable wet wipes and disposable baby diaper. A barrier cream containing 40% zinc oxide will be applied to the cleaned diaper area as a thin layer to cover the skin. Baby's diaper change will be done 8 times a day, every three hours.
