A newborn boy who weighed 1,585 gm after 36 weeks' gestation and thus was small for date, was cared for in an Air-Shields C-86 Isolette, Intensive Care Model. He became very active and was able to change position inside the incubator. On several occasions he was seen with his head or feet pressed against the sides of the incubator.
