In recent years, global temperatures have gradually warmed up, especially in hot summers, and rooms without air conditioning are simply unbearable. So, can a baby over ten days old use air conditioning?
A baby who is over ten days old can have air conditioning, but a newborn baby cannot be held up all the time. But after all, infants are physically weak and have not fully developed, and their resistance is not as strong as that of adults. It is impossible to blow air conditioning like an adult. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Reasonable temperature control. If there is a baby at home, the temperature should be controlled between 26-28 degrees. It must not be too low, otherwise the child is prone to illness and problems such as colds, rashes, etc. Because children's bodies are very weak, their resistance is still very poor compared to adults.
2. Clean and hygienic. Before turning on the air conditioning, it is necessary to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the indoor environment. Firstly, clean the air conditioner, mainly the internal machines and filters. Meanwhile, after using the air conditioner for a period of time, it is important to pay attention to regular cleaning. In addition, walls, floors, and furniture should be cleaned to prevent floating mold, bacteria, and dust from entering the baby's body.
3. Ventilation and air exchange. After staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time, sometimes I feel dizzy and my brain swells. In fact, this is the cause of poor air circulation and pollution. To prevent bacterial infection, regular ventilation should be carried out. In general, after the air conditioner is turned on for about 4 hours, the windows should be opened for ventilation for about 20 minutes to completely replace the indoor air.
4. Do not blow directly. That is to say, children should not face the air outlet because the temperature in this direction is very low, and the cold air directly stimulates their respiratory tract and skin. Therefore, it is best for children not to stay in air-conditioned rooms. The correct method is to change the position between the child and the air-conditioned room. For example, if the child is in the bedroom, turn on the air conditioning in the living room; When the child arrived in the living room, he turned on the air conditioning in the bedroom. On the one hand, this can ensure indoor temperature, and on the other hand, it will not cause harm to the child's body.
In addition, when children sleep in air-conditioned rooms, they should wear pajamas and cover them with a thin blanket at night, with the standard being that their abdomen and toes are not exposed; Children should wear socks during the day because human feet are very sensitive; It is best not to lay a cool mat under the child's body, and the mattress should not be too soft.
