1. An infant care station comprising:
a heating component for a microenvironment of the infant care station;
at least one temperature measuring device; and
a processor to:
calculate a baseline temperature of the heating component using the at least one temperature measuring device;
monitor the heating component using the at least one temperature measuring device to determine one or more operating characteristics;
detect, based at least in part on the baseline temperature, that the one or more operating characteristics exceed a predetermined threshold; and
generate a response that results in a correction of an operating temperature maintained by the heating component.
