It is possible for a small baby to fall out of an open port on an Isolette. The mattress is usually tilted up at the head of the bed and gravity can aid a wriggler to exit and then fall. This has happened before!

Babies move, and many babies seek the security of the wall of the incubator when they are left unwrapped, as is often the situation when a newborn needs the Isolette - remembering the security of the tightly binding womb they just left. That is why swaddling is so calming to babies.

Makes sense to me. When my son was 2-3 weeks old, he wriggled up to one end of the bassinet - startled me badly when I first woke up because from my angle the bassinet appeared empty.
