Optimizing Temperature in the Baby's Room

Babies are more vulnerable to cold than adults. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain their body temperature appropriately. To prevent them from becoming too warm or cold, select suitable clothing in both the winter and the summer and maintain a proper temperature in their environment.

Heating the baby’s room

The safest appliances for heating rooms are radiators and air conditioning. Spiral and gas heaters may be dangerous and might cause clothes or accessories to catch fire. It is crucial to adhere to the following safety guidelines when using a heating appliance:

• Keep a window open: when using a heating appliance, keep a window slightly open to maintain room ventilation.
• Maintain humidity: to maintain room humidity when using a heating appliance, put a bowl of water in the room or spread a wet towel (not on top of the heating appliance, of course).
• Ventilate the room regularly: even during the winter, make sure to take the baby out of the room at least once a day and ventilate the room.
• Keep flammable objects away: avoid positioning heating appliances close to flammable objects, such as the baby’s bed, blankets, curtains, or sofas. Additionally, do not leave flammable objects near heating appliances.

Cooling the baby’s room

It is recommended to use air conditioning or a ventilator. It is important to ensure that the appliance does not face the baby directly so that the baby will not catch a cold.
