In the hot summer, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is often as high as more than ten degrees. When babies go from the sweltering outdoors into the cool, air-conditioned room, parents often find that they start to cough and sniffle; and when parents take their babies outdoors to play, they worry that they will get heatstroke because they are too hot. So, can babies use air conditioning or not? The answer is: yes! The temperature is too high, you can give your baby air conditioning, but do not let your baby rely too much on air conditioning, because it will make the child’s thermoregulatory function is reduced, the ability to adapt to the environment becomes poor. Parents should master the “degree”, otherwise it will lead to illness: 1. The temperature is too low, baby easy to catch a cold, diarrhea If the air conditioning temperature is adjusted very low, and the temperature difference between the outside world, hot and cold, very easy to cause baby cold and diarrhea situation. 2. baby easy to suffer from “air conditioning disease” air conditioning disease is a comprehensive disease general term, if the home is often open air conditioning, and the baby has the following symptoms, to draw the attention of parents. (1) fatigue, nervousness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, memory loss; (2) headache, dizziness, cold, fever; (3) sore throat, gastrointestinal discomfort; (4) dry skin, dry mucous membranes, respiratory allergies; (5) varying degrees of numbness in the hands and feet. 3. long-term use of air conditioning baby susceptible to pneumonia Because baby subcutaneous fat, capillary-rich, thermoregulatory center is not yet well developed, adults can not feel the temperature difference, but young children can obviously feel. In the cold air environment of air-conditioned rooms, young children’s capillaries contract, sweat gland pores close, sympathetic nerves are excited, visceral vasoconstriction, gastrointestinal movement is weakened, resistance is weakened, coupled with the growth and reproduction of various bacteria and mold in the air conditioner, the air is polluted, so it is very easy to suffer from pneumonia. What is the appropriate temperature for air conditioning? 25℃~28℃! When the outside temperature is higher than 35℃ or the indoor temperature is more than 28℃~30℃, it will make the baby uncomfortable, and it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner to cool down at this time. General temperature control at 25 ℃ ~ 28 ℃, 5 ~ 6 ℃ lower than the outdoor is appropriate. If the baby is still sweating after setting, you can continue to adjust until you find a temperature that is comfortable for your baby. In addition, also remind parents, because the baby’s thermoregulatory center and sweat glands are not mature, the ability to regulate the temperature difference is not yet very sound, so the temperature adjustment needs a gradual adaptation process. You can turn off the air conditioning an hour before the baby wakes up, so that the indoor temperature is gradually consistent with the outdoor temperature, and when the baby wakes up, the temperature difference is not much. Baby using air conditioning precautions 1. indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large Usually, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be maintained at about 5 ℃, because the body needs some time to adapt to changes in environmental temperature, especially the body temperature regulation system is not yet perfect baby. If the temperature difference is too large, the body can not immediately adapt, easily lead to physical illness. Out of the air-conditioned room, you should always add or remove clothes to the baby. Don’t let your baby stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time. Even if the weather is hot, don’t let your baby stay in a cool air-conditioned room for a long time, you should take your baby outdoors regularly every day to breathe fresh air, do moderate activities and games, and let your baby sweat a little in the summer. 3. always moisturize the room You also need to pay attention to the humidity of the room. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you will often have a dry mouth, because the moisture in your body is evaporated by the cold air, and the air conditioner does not have the ability to adjust the humidity. Babies’ skin is much less able to regulate moisture than adults, so it’s much harder to adapt. Families with babies who want to use air conditioning, the first thing to do is to give the baby more water, and at the same time to artificially and appropriately increase the humidity in the room. 4. Do not install too large air conditioners It is best to have one machine for one household. If the air conditioner and the room area is not properly matched, it will make the indoor air too dry, too cold, which is easy to reduce the baby’s resistance. 5. air conditioning do not blow directly on the baby blowing directly on the baby is likely to make them sick, the lighter runny nose, congestion, the heavier it will lead to bronchitis, and even pneumonia. You should find the best angle to place the air conditioner in the room to ensure that there is no cold wind blowing directly at the baby. Do not turn on the air volume too much, and the use of time should not be too long. Don’t let the baby get cold When you turn on the air conditioner, you should put on thin and thick clothing for your baby, and it is best to wear a small bib on your chest and stomach. Especially at night, in the air-conditioned room to sleep, be sure to cover the baby with a towel quilt, so that the body does not get cold. 7. Set the appropriate air conditioning temperature at night If the air conditioning is not turned on at night, the baby will not sleep well and its strength will drop, but the temperature is too low and the baby will easily catch a cold. The appropriate practice is to set the air conditioning temperature a little higher, such as about 28 ℃, or timed 2 to 3 hours, so that the baby can sleep more solidly. When the baby sleeps heavily, you can use the breeze cycle (with the air conditioner ventilation gear), and it is best to open the window to breathe properly. 8. Room attention to ventilation Windows should be opened frequently for ventilation to ensure the circulation of indoor and outdoor air. By turning off the unit after 1 to 3 hours of operation, and then open the window to exhaust the indoor air. At least once in the morning and once in the evening, for 10-20 minutes each time. For families with newborn babies, open at least one window to keep the indoor air circulating when using the air conditioner. The air conditioner will be set at 26~28℃ and timed for 2~3 hours before going to bed at night, covering the baby with a thin blanket. 1~2 hours later, when the baby is in deep sleep, the adult will open the air conditioner into a ventilation gear and open the window for ventilation, which is the so-called “breeze cycle”. 9. air conditioning regularly clean air conditioning air filter (filter film), is used to filter the air. If it is not cleaned for too long, the lint, dust and other impurities on the filter will be blown into the room and scattered in the air. Once the baby inhales these substances, the respiratory tract will be allergic or cause a cough. Therefore, about every half month, the air filter on the air conditioner should be removed and flushed with a lot of water, indoor air quality can be guaranteed. This mom and dad can do it themselves. 10. baby reasonable clothing baby skin delicate, sweating more, clothing materials should have soft, moisture-absorbing, breathable and easy to wash characteristics, to light-colored cotton or pure knitted products is appropriate.
