Can a three-month-old baby use air conditioning?

Summer is the season when babies are most likely to get sick, because the temperature in summer is very high, which makes parents make unreasonable arrangements when adding clothes to their babies, which eventually leads to a large difference between the baby's temperature and the indoor and outdoor temperatures, resulting in illness. In addition, many parents also use air conditioning to cool their babies, especially three-month-old babies. Let's take a look at whether three-month-old babies can use air conditioning?

Air conditioning is an air conditioner, which is mainly used to adjust the indoor temperature. Babies need a suitable temperature, so the use of air conditioning has nothing to do with the age of the baby. However, it should be noted that the temperature should be adjusted between 25-27℃, and the air outlet should not blow directly onto the baby. The windows should be opened for ventilation about once every three hours to keep the indoor air fresh and flowing.

There are also some requirements for the air-conditioning temperature for babies. We adults can withstand lower air-conditioning temperatures, but for babies, the temperature cannot be too low. The suitable temperature for babies to use air conditioning should be between 27℃ and 28℃, and the temperature difference with the outdoor temperature should be 3-5℃. The general recommendation is 25℃-28℃, and 27℃-28℃ is best.

As for what temperature is appropriate, experts say that when the outside temperature is higher than 35℃ or the indoor temperature exceeds 28℃-30℃, the baby will feel uncomfortable. At this time, it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner to cool down. The temperature is generally controlled at 25℃-28℃, which is 3-5℃ lower than the outdoor temperature. If parents observe that the baby is still sweating, they can continue to adjust until they find a temperature that is comfortable for the baby.

In addition, since the baby's body temperature regulation center and sweat glands are not fully developed, the ability to regulate temperature differences is not yet fully developed, so temperature regulation requires a gradual adaptation process. You can turn off the air conditioner one hour before your baby wakes up, so that the indoor temperature will gradually match the outdoor temperature. When your baby wakes up, the temperature difference will not be that big.

Three-month-old babies need to be properly cared for when using air conditioning, otherwise it may easily cause air-conditioning disease or other problems in the long run.
