The three volcano days came, babies do not eat and sleep well like to make trouble, in order to make babies can be less tossed, mothers are out of a lot of summer heat strokes. The air conditioner is definitely the top of the list of summer heat artifacts, although the air conditioner is available in every home, the actual use of the baby is still a concern. Especially grandparents and other older generations know, absolutely jumped up against, worried about the baby get “air conditioning disease”! In fact, the rational use of air conditioning, not only to keep your baby cool in the summer, but also to avoid “air conditioning disease”!
What are the benefits of turning on the air conditioner?
1.Cooling
Air conditioning cooling is the most basic function, because the air conditioner is to rely on the compressor is constantly cycling compression, the coolant gas compressed into a liquid outdoors, exothermic; indoors is the liquid evaporated into a gas, heat absorption. The indoor temperature will be sucked to the outdoor, thus cooling.
2.Dehumidification
Of course in cooling at the same time, it also does one thing, which is moisture removal, cooling the water vapor into water flow out. So what the air conditioner can do is to provide a dry, cool environment.
3.Purify the air
At present, the main family split air conditioner, is not changing the air, indoor and outdoor only coolant and drainage pipe connection between, so even if the haze and other pollution weather, there is no need to worry about outdoor pollution and afraid to open the air conditioner. In fact, if you regularly clean the air conditioning filter, air conditioning in the process of air circulation will incidentally filter, reduce the air pollutants, purify the air.
4, reduce the chances of sudden infant death
American Academy of Pediatrics AAP has always recommended that parents use air conditioning in the sweltering summer heat. One of the leading causes of infant death in the United States is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), with about 2,500 children between the ages of 1 month and 1 year dying suddenly each year. U.S. pediatricians have thought of many ways to reduce SIDS, in addition to changing babies from prone to supine sleep, turning on the air conditioner in hot weather has also proven to be a very effective and important way to reduce sudden infant death.
5.Reducing respiratory diseases
Air conditioning can also reduce the occurrence of many diseases including asthma and allergies. High temperatures and high humidity are two killers that threaten children’s health. Children’s bodies have poor adaptability to temperature, and high temperatures can easily cause heat stroke, dehydration and even sudden death. In addition to exacerbating the severity of heat stroke, high humidity can also irritate children’s respiratory tracts, causing asthma and, of course, skin inflammation such as heat rash and eczema, which babies always get.
What happens to babies who don’t use air conditioning?
Because the baby’s own ability to regulate the temperature is not strong, not to turn on the air conditioning is likely to lead to the following situations.
1, sleep unstable
Summer, a word “hot”, adults can not stand, not to mention the baby! Children’s sweat glands and thermoregulatory center has not yet developed, the ability to regulate the temperature is far less than that of adults. The high temperature will affect their bodily functions, sleep restlessly and affect the quality of sleep.
2, long prickly heat, sweat rash, eczema
Hot weather, sweating, this time the baby will begin to grow heat rash, eczema. The treatment of prickly heat is to reduce the temperature around the baby, bath, keep the affected area dry, air conditioning cooling effect how big!
3, dehydration or heat stroke
High temperatures can make the baby dehydrated or heatstroke, so the high temperature must keep the baby cool, not always so hot baby.
How does “air conditioning disease” come about?
After blowing air conditioner, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, throat discomfort, diarrhea and other discomforts, many people would label them as “air conditioning disease” hat, pointing directly at the air conditioner. It is true that these symptoms often occur after blowing air conditioning, but medically there is no “air conditioning disease” as a disease, these discomforts can not be blamed on the head of the air conditioning.
Why say so?
1, diarrhea, runny nose, nasal congestion: this is the body’s response to rapid temperature changes, will soon disappear.
2, dry skin, nose, throat: this is because the air conditioner makes the air dry, increasing air humidity can be avoided.
3, allergies, asthma: this is mostly because the air conditioner has not been cleaned for a long time.
Reasonable use of air conditioning, so that the baby is healthier
1, the temperature difference is not too big
At the same time, the air conditioning temperature is set at 26 ℃ to 28 ℃ is more appropriate, indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not exceed 7 ℃. If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, it is difficult for the baby’s body to adapt quickly when entering and leaving the room. If you sweat a lot, don’t let your baby enter the room with lower temperature immediately, you should change out of wet clothes and dry sweat first.
2.Open the window once an hour to change the air
Because of the heat, some families open the air conditioner all day and night, some families are afraid to come in hot, the doors and windows are closed tightly …… these are very bad habits. Because the dust and bacteria in the air conditioner will pollute the indoor air. Therefore, it is best to open the window for a while after an hour to change some fresh air. It is best to ensure that the baby has a certain amount of time to receive sunlight every day, to go outdoors and breathe fresh air.
3.Pay attention to humidification
The air conditioner will suck in the moisture in the air and discharge it after condensing it into condensation. The indoor air will therefore become dry and have a bad effect on the respiratory system, which is also the cause of summer colds. Put a basin of water in the air-conditioned room or use a humidifier to humidify the air, thus keeping the skin mucous membrane somewhat hydrated and relieving symptoms such as nasal congestion and throat discomfort. If the baby stays in the air-conditioned room for a long time, let him drink more water.
4, avoid the wind of the air conditioner
Do not let the cool breeze of the air conditioner blow directly on the baby. Directly blowing cool air after sleeping will make one’s body cool causing tendon pain and cold, so when sleeping, it is best to turn off the air conditioning. But it is too hot to sleep, but also be sure to turn the air conditioning to a weak wind, the wind direction to blow upward, and set the time. So that when people fall asleep, the air conditioning will automatically stop.
5, often clean the air conditioning filter
Every half month to regularly clean the air conditioner, rinse the air filter and air conditioner with water in the cooling tray, you can also use air conditioning cleaning agent cleaning to avoid mold breeding, if the air blown out mixed with dust mites, easy to induce the occurrence of allergic rhinitis and asthma in babies.
