Blue science

It happens babies are born too soon and then science needs to help nature. Incubators kind of mimic life in the womb. The sooner they are born, the more chance they have of having too much bilirubine, which give them the yellowish color. UV light helps getting rid of the bilirubine. The eyes of the baby are protected by special glasses.
