During embalming, which organ requires special attention when preparing a baby?

The brain requires special attention when preparing a baby during embalming due to its delicate structure and the potential for rapid decomposition. Infants have a higher water content in their bodies, which can lead to more rapid tissue breakdown. The brain is particularly susceptible to this process, and careful embalming techniques are necessary to ensure proper preservation. Additionally, because the infant skull is still developing and can be fragile, it is essential to handle it with care during the embalming process. Proper drainage and the use of appropriate embalming fluids help to maintain the integrity of the brain while preventing the onset of decomposition, ensuring that the baby is prepared respectfully and adequately for viewing or memorial purposes.
