Now the weather gradually become hot, our little baby began to sweat very easily, parents sometimes use air conditioning to cool down, but mothers and fathers are still more entangled is not open air conditioning for fear that the baby can not stand the summer heat, open the air conditioning for fear that the baby suffers from “air-conditioning”, which can be how to be good? Should children blowing air conditioning? Appropriate temperature In the baby blowing air conditioning, it is recommended that the temperature is set between 25-28 degrees. When the temperature is high, the temperature difference can be adjusted down by about 6-7 degrees; when the temperature is not too high, the temperature difference can be adjusted down by 3-5 degrees, and the wind speed of the air conditioner should not be too strong. Note: When entering a room, wait for the baby to enter the room first before turning on the air conditioner; when leaving a room, turn off the air conditioner and wait for the room temperature to approach the outdoor temperature before going out, and make sure not to go in and out frequently with the baby. Ventilate the room regularly Ventilate the room regularly, at least once in the morning and once in the evening, for 10-20 minutes each time, to ensure that the air in the room is fresh. Adults should avoid smoking in the room. If your baby has allergies or respiratory problems, you can install an air purifier in the room to improve the air quality. Attention to hydration After a period of time in the air-conditioned room, the baby may feel dry mouth, this is because this is because the moisture in the body is evaporated by the cold air, and the air-conditioning does not have the ability to regulate humidity. Parents should feed their babies some water from time to time. At the same time, the parents should also strengthen the care of the baby’s dry skin. If necessary, you can also use a humidifier. Air conditioning do not blow directly on the baby Blowing directly on the baby is easy to make them sick, the light runny, nasal congestion, the heavier will lead to bronchitis, and even pneumonia. In addition, air conditioning cold air blowing directly may also cause the blood vessels of the facial nerve due to wind and cold and spasm, resulting in facial nerve ischemia, edema and symptoms of facial paralysis. Correct approach: in the room to find an optimal placement of air conditioning angle, to ensure that there will be no cold wind blowing directly against the baby, the wind volume should not open too large, the use of time should not be too long. Air conditioning is not cleaned for a long time, there will be a lot of pollutants, in the humid environment is very easy to become bacteria, germs “incubation base”. Long-term living and working in such an environment, people are prone to feel dizziness, fatigue, the elderly and children are more likely to become “victims”. Correct practice: summer use of air conditioning before the best for a cleaning, and about every half a month, to use a lot of water to rinse air conditioning air filtration post (filtration membrane), so that indoor air quality can be guaranteed. Baby blowing air conditioning need to pay attention to a lot of places, many parents are worried about the harm to the child. So, is it good for babies to blow air conditioning? Although it is said that summer needs to be cooled down, but for babies, summer also needs to do a good job of keeping warm. Because the newborn baby thin skin, subcutaneous fat, body surface area compared to adults is a big difference, more heat dissipation, less heat production, thermoregulation center development is not sound, so when the temperature is too low, the newborn baby body temperature is easy to be affected by the temperature of the indoor environment, resulting in the body temperature does not rise. Severe will also make the subcutaneous fat coagulation, hardening, leading to scleroderma, and even life-threatening. For babies, body temperature should be kept within the normal range, that is, axillary body temperature of 36 ℃ to 37 ℃, anal body temperature of 36.5 ℃ to 37.5 ℃, to avoid the cool wind blowing directly on the baby. Baby dress, should be loose, cotton best, wearing should not be too much, to the extent that the quiet when not sweating. Preterm babies are especially important to keep warm, and those who are underweight need to be hospitalized and use a warming box in order to achieve the warmth requirements. It should also be noted that if the baby is in the air-conditioned room for a long time, it is easy to catch a cold. Now many babies with upper respiratory tract infections mostly related to air conditioning, coupled with the baby’s own immunity and resistance is relatively low compared to adults, if the whole day in the air-conditioned room, the air does not circulate, the baby is very prone to fever, upper respiratory tract infections, inflammation of tonsils, coughing, runny nose, sinusitis and other illnesses. In order to be able to make the baby to avoid blowing air-conditioning cold, it is recommended that the best temperature of air-conditioning in the summer at 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, the best to put pots of water when you go to bed in order to keep the room moist, and usually open the windows often to ventilate the room. In addition, some parents found that the baby has a slight fever and other symptoms, they are scared of the air conditioning, fans are afraid to use, not realizing that the ambient temperature is too high, but will lead to the baby’s body temperature does not go down, resistance to decline, the condition is aggravated. Air-conditioned rooms are often closed doors and windows, low-temperature airflow around, resulting in natural air circulation, hidden bacteria can not be diffused. And a long time blowing air conditioning is prone to dizziness and chest tightness, while the baby is more likely to have diarrhea or cold problems due to the cool air. Parents should not let the baby not long in the air-conditioned room, and the air-conditioning temperature should not be too low.
