The Safe Way to Use AC on Baby's Room
The heat we face every day by living in Indonesia can make your baby all fussy and have trouble sleeping. Thus, AC becomes a choice for the parents to cool their baby’s room. But, you need to remember that the baby’s body is vulnerable and sensitive. Therefore, learn about these rules to prevent your AC from having a bad impact on your baby.
1. Temperature settings
The newborn’s body cannot function as perfect as adults. Therefore, their bodies need more time to adapt, especially with their surrounding temperature. As parents, you need to find the perfect temperature for the baby room: not too hot and not too cold. If it is too hot, your baby will easily sweat and become dehydrated. If it is too cold, your baby will be vulnerable to hypothermia.
Experts found that the perfect temperature for baby’s bedroom is 24-26°C. However, if the room gets direct sunlight, the air may feel warmer. You can always adjust the temperature to meet the condition of the room.
2. AC placements
Direct exposure to cold air from the AC can cause dry skin and breathing difficulty, even for adults. Imagine the impact on your newborn’s sensitive body.
However, it does not mean you cannot use AC to cool your baby’s room. You can place your AC in such a way so that the cool air does not blow directly to the baby’s bed. The easiest way is to place your AC above your baby’s bed.
3. Clean your AC regularly
Air filters are the easiest to get dirty. Filters work to clean the air from dust, dirt, fungus, and mites. When it gets dirty, filters will be unable to get rid of the dirt. As a result, the air will be unhealthy for your baby to breathe. To have your filters work properly, clean it regularly. You can simply clean it with a brush. However, if the dirt got all piled up, you want to contact the technician to help you clean the filter.
