Summer is here. At the beginning of May, we have just ushered in the \”beginning of summer\” solar term. Within a few days, many provinces have issued high temperature warnings, and people all over the country are calling it \”hot\”. When we didn\’t have a baby, in the hot summer, we would definitely hug the \”thigh\” of the air conditioner and stay in the \”air-conditioned room\” and refuse to leave. But after having a baby, many parents will inevitably have such concerns: Can the baby use the air conditioner? Some parents (especially the older generation) even have such a prejudice: babies will get sick as soon as the air conditioner is blown! In order to allow both parents and babies to spend this summer comfortably, let’s talk about the misunderstanding that “babies cannot blow on the air conditioner/will get sick when the air conditioner is turned on” and what is the correct way to blow on the air conditioner. How was it! Babies getting sick after blowing on the air conditioner may be because they turn it on incorrectly. Many parents like to blame the \”baby\’s physical discomfort\” on \”blowing the air conditioner\”, but in fact, using air conditioners to cool down in summer, just like using heaters for heating in winter, will make the living environment worse. A more agreeable act of wit. If your baby becomes unwell after using the air conditioner, parents may wish to reflect first: Is the air conditioner temperature setting reasonable? Has the air conditioner been cleaned on time? Is the baby properly dressed in an air-conditioned room? Does your baby frequently go in and out of air-conditioned environments? Does the baby blow the air conditioner immediately after sweating? Does the baby replenish water in time when the air conditioner is turned on? If your answers to the above 6 questions are almost all “no”, then don’t blame the air conditioner! Quickly refer to the following \”correct opening methods\” to correct it! The correct way to blow the air conditioner on your baby is to set the temperature appropriately. The appropriate temperature of the air conditioner in summer is 24℃~26℃. The wind speed should not be too strong and the wind direction should not blow directly towards the baby. In addition, parents should not frequently turn on and off the air conditioner to avoid causing the indoor temperature to fluctuate. Pay attention to cleaning. The air filter, cooling plate and radiator on the air conditioner at home should be cleaned every half a month. Parents can also buy their own detergent and clean it at home, which saves money and is convenient. Not only does the machine itself need to be cleaned well, but so does the indoor air. The air conditioner at home should be turned off once in the morning and evening, and windows and fans should be opened for ventilation for 15 minutes. When using air conditioning for a newborn baby, it is advisable to open a window to maintain indoor air circulation. Long-sleeved clothes and pants should be worn in air-conditioned rooms. Long-sleeved and thin clothes made of pure cotton should be worn in air-conditioned rooms. If the baby falls asleep in an air-conditioned environment, the baby should be covered with a thin quilt or towel to prevent the abdomen from catching cold. Don\’t let your baby go in and out frequently. Don\’t let your baby go in and out of the air-conditioned room frequently. The temperature changes between hot and cold can easily cause your baby to catch a cold. Do not bring sweat in the hair dryer. If parents take their babies outdoors when the outdoor temperature is low (early morning and dusk), after the baby returns home, they should first dry off the sweat on their bodies, put on dry clothes and pants, and then turn on the air conditioner. . Don’t forget to replenish water in time. Air conditioning has a strong dehumidification effect. If you stay in an air-conditioned room all day without replenishing water for your baby, it will easily make your baby’s mouth dry. Your baby should eat more fruits and vegetables and drink warm water to replenish the water the body needs. You can also use a humidifier or place a basin of water to increase indoor humidity.
