About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial without medication neither device (for procedure) is to compare the average length of hospital stay of infants weaned from the incubator at a weight greater than or equal to 1400 grams versus infants weaned at a weight greater than or equal to 1600 grams.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is it possible to reduce the average hospital stay in the early weaning group compared with the standard weaning group? * Is this procedure safe and without adverse outcomes between the two groups during the hospital stay and during the first week after discharge?
