Lanugo helps protect your babyâs skin from drying out in utero. The constant immersion in amniotic fluid could chap and irritate a babyâs delicate skin. Dr. Steven B. Hoath and fellow researchers at the Skin Sciences Institute, researched the role of vernix and lanugo.
A birth caul (Latin name, Caput galeatum, meaning head helmet), is a piece of the amniotic sac still attached to a newly born baby's head or face. In extremely rare cases â called an en caul birth â a baby emerges fully inside the amniotic sac, which looks like a thin and filmy membrane. A caul happens when a piece of the sac breaks away during gestation or during the birthing process and attaches itself to the baby's head.
