Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Axillary temperature variation 10 and 30 minutes post immersion bath compared to axillary temperature immediately pre bath, measured by a digital thermometer in Celsius degree.<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sleep-wake state variation of preterm newborn 10 minutes pre bath compared to sleep-wake state 20 minutes post bath. The sleep-wake state will be filmed for 10 minutes pre bath and for 20 minutes post bath.<br>;Heart rate variation 10 and 30 minutes post immersion bath compared to heart rate values immediately pre bath. The heart rate will be measured by a multiparametrical monitor put in one of the newborn lower limbs.<br>;Oxygen saturation variation 10 and 30 minutes post immersion bath compared to oxygen saturation values immediately pre bath. The oxygen saturation will be measured by a multiparametrical monitor put in one of the newborn lower limbs.<br>;Salivary cortisol variation 20 minutes post bath compared to values pre bath. The salivary cortisol will be collected by a ophthalmic sponge which will be keep up for 10 minutes in one of the corners of the mouth to obtain at least 1 ml of saliva.<br>
