What temperature is suitable for babies in winter? Can I turn on the air conditioner when my baby has a fever?

It is very cold in winter, and everyone uses air conditioning. But for mothers, how high should the air conditioner be turned on in winter? This is a question. So, how high should the air conditioner be turned on in winter to be more suitable for babies?

How much temperature is suitable for babies in winter?

It is recommended to control it at around 20 degrees.

The purpose of turning on the air conditioner in winter is because babies have poor immunity. In order to prevent babies from catching colds and getting sick, the room temperature can be appropriately increased when the weather is cold in winter to prevent babies from catching cold and getting sick. The recommended temperature is around 20 degrees, which can prevent babies from getting sick without causing too serious temperature differences.

Can I turn on the air conditioner when my baby has a fever?

You can turn on the air conditioner when the baby has a fever.

Babies have relatively weak physical resistance, so they should reduce outdoor activities after catching a cold. They can stay in a warm air-conditioned room and play on a daily basis. However, they should pay attention to the appropriateness of the air-conditioning temperature and not adjust it to a "wind level" mode to avoid catching a cold again.

How to use air conditioning correctly for babies in winter?

1. Abdomen

Medical research shows that infants and young children have immature digestive systems, especially the abdominal wall and intestines lack a fat "protective layer", and are therefore easily stimulated by cooler air, which causes increased intestinal motility, leading to more bowel movements and reduced intestinal water absorption, resulting in loose stools. This is exogenous diarrhea.

It is very important to keep the baby's abdomen warm. Some mothers will dress their babies more to protect their abdomen. However, if they dress too much, the baby will be too hot, and if they dress too little, they are afraid that the abdomen will get cold. Here, the editor introduces a very convenient product to mothers - the abdominal girder. While keeping the abdomen warm, the abdominal girder can also fix the clothes to prevent the clothes from being lifted up and causing the baby to get cold when playing. The abdominal girth is also divided into different sizes. Mothers should also be careful not to wear it too tight to affect the baby's breathing.

2. Control the temperature

The temperature of the air-conditioned room where the baby is located is controlled at 27~28℃. Sometimes the room temperature is different from the temperature displayed by the air conditioner. The mother may wish to buy a room temperature meter. The air-conditioning wind speed should not be too strong, and the air outlet should not be directly facing the baby. The baby should enter the room first and then turn on the air conditioner. When going out, the air conditioner should be turned off first and wait until the room temperature is close to normal temperature before going out. The temperature difference should not exceed 5℃. The baby should avoid frequent entry and exit.

3. Maintain ventilation

Because air-conditioned rooms are generally sealed, the indoor air is turbid, the bacteria content will increase, the concentration of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide will increase, and the air quality will be poor. You should open the windows frequently to ventilate to ensure the circulation of indoor and outdoor air. Turn off the machine after 1 to 3 hours of operation, and then open the windows to exhaust the indoor air. Families with newborn babies should open at least one window when using air conditioning to keep the indoor air circulating. The air conditioner filter absorbs too many anions in the air, which increases the cations in the room. While paying attention to ventilation, you can also buy a negative oxygen ion generator.

4. Increase humidity

The baby's skin moisture regulation ability is far less than that of an adult, so it is more difficult for them to adapt. When a baby moves into an air-conditioned room, first give the baby plenty of water to drink, and at the same time artificially increase the indoor humidity appropriately, such as using a humidifier or placing a container of water in the room.

5. Air conditioning network cleaning

The air filter membrane of the air conditioner is used to filter the air. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the hair, dust and other impurities on the filter will be blown into the room and spread in the air. Once the baby inhales these substances, it will affect the health of the respiratory tract. Therefore, about every half a month, the air filter on the air conditioner should be removed and rinsed with plenty of water to ensure the indoor air quality.

Precautions for babies using air conditioning

1. Pay attention to temperature regulation

The temperature difference should not be too large. In addition, pay attention to indoor ventilation and the air conditioner should not be used for too long. After using it for a period of time, open the doors and windows to allow indoor air circulation to avoid the breeding of viruses and bacteria in a closed and warm environment.

2. Pay attention to indoor moisturizing

If you use the air conditioner or dehumidifier for a long time, the indoor air will be very dry, especially in autumn and winter when the weather is very dry, so parents can choose to use a small humidifier at home to ensure the air humidity.
