In its earliest decades, however, the baby incubator was a fixture of sideshows and carnival midways, not hospitals. Join historian Paula Becker and neonatal intensive care nurse Amy Caldwell in exploring the early history of baby incubators in Seattle \u2014 from their first appearance in a downtown amusement center in 1906, to the Baby Electrobator display at West Seattle\u2019s Luna Park, to the wildly successful Baby Incubator Exhibit at the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, to present day neonatal intensive care units.<\/p>\n<p>[author]\u00a0[author_info]Paula Becker is a staff historian for HistoryLink.org, where her essays document the dance marathon craze of the 1920s and 1930s, the A-Y-P Baby Incubator Exhibit, and the career of The Egg and I author Betty MacDonald, among numerous other subjects.
