The north is about to enter the summer day, to the hottest time of the year, the most worrying question for the baby at home is whether the baby can turn on the air conditioner, what are the precautions? Summarize some precautions to share with you!!
Remember, babies are more sensitive to heat than adults!
Since children have a faster metabolism than adults, they are more sensitive to heat than adults. Therefore, the temperature of the child's room should be adjusted appropriately according to the air temperature, that is, the air conditioner can be turned on in the room with children.
The air conditioner can not only cool down but also drain moisture, so the reasonable use of air conditioning will definitely improve the comfort of children, and to a certain extent, it will avoid asthma, eczema, prickly heat and other troublesome diseases!
▶ The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large
Usually, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be kept at about 5°C, because it takes a certain amount of time for the human body to adapt to the changes in ambient temperature, especially for babies whose temperature regulation system is not yet perfect. If the temperature difference is too large, the body cannot adapt immediately, which can easily lead to illness. In and out of the air-conditioned room, you should add or remove clothes for the baby at any time.
▶ Don't let your baby stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time
Even if the weather is hot, do not let the baby stay in the cool air-conditioned room for a long time, and take the baby outdoors regularly every day to breathe fresh air and do moderate activities and games.
▶ Moisturize indoors at all times
It is also necessary to pay attention to the humidity in the room. After staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you often have a dry mouth, this is because the water in your body is evaporated by the cold air, and the air conditioner does not have the ability to regulate the humidity. Babies are far less able to regulate skin moisture than adults, so it's harder to adapt. If a family with a baby wants to use an air conditioner, the first thing to do is to give the baby plenty of water and use a humidifier to keep the indoor humidity at 50-60%.
▶ The air conditioner should not blow directly on the baby
Find the best angle to place the air conditioner in the room to ensure that there is no cold air blowing directly on the baby. The air volume should not be turned on too much, and the use time should not be too long.
▶ Set the air conditioning temperature at night
If the air conditioner is not turned on at night, the baby will be irritable and sleep well, the appropriate way is to set the air conditioning temperature slightly higher, such as about 26-27 °C, or 2~3 hours, so that the baby can sleep more steadily. When the baby is sleeping deeply, you can use a breeze circulation (with an air conditioner ventilation gear), and it is best to open the window properly for ventilation.
▶ Pay attention to ventilation in the room
Windows should be opened frequently to ensure indoor and outdoor air circulation. Turn off the machine after 1~3 hours of powering it on, and then open the window to exhaust the indoor air. At least once in the morning and once in the evening, 10~20 minutes each time. For families with newborn babies, open at least one window to keep the air in the room well ventilated when using the air conditioner.
▶ The air conditioner is cleaned regularly
The air filter (filter membrane) of an air conditioner is used to filter the air. If you don't clean it for too long, the lint, dust and other impurities that are covered in the filter will blow into the room and spread in the air. Once your baby inhales these substances, his or her respiratory tract can become allergic or cause a cough. Therefore, about every 1 month, the air filter on the air conditioner should be removed and rinsed with a large amount of water to ensure the indoor air quality. This mom and dad can do it themselves.
▶ Treasure Treasure Clothing
The baby's skin is delicate and sweats more, and the clothing materials should be soft, hygroscopic, breathable and easy to wash, and the light-colored cotton or gauze material is appropriate.
