Old people feel hot and so do small children. Children cannot bear the heat. Due to heat they can become vulnerable to many diseases. Therefore, keep children in a cool place. However, if you are keeping them in AC and cooler, then take special care of the following things.

Keep this in mind before letting children sleep in AC or cooler.

  • If you make your child sleep in AC or cooler, always keep in mind that direct air does not fall on your child. Children's immune system is weak, so even a mild cold can make your child suffer from cold and fever.
  • If you have AC in your house, then set the temperature for the child in such a way that the room is neither too cold nor too hot. If the room is too cold then the child may suffer from problems like cold, cough etc.
  • Do not keep the baby in cold temperatures for a long time, as there is a risk of hypothermia. If you make your child sleep in an AC room, then keep the temperature of the AC between 23 to 26. If the temperature is lower than this, the child may become ill.
  • Keep the window or door open while running the cooler, this will keep air circulating and the room temperature will remain comfortable. Also there will be no problem of sweating.
  • Children should wear only cotton clothes during summer season. You should dress your child in loose and full sleeve clothes. You can also wear light cotton socks and a hat.
  • Cover the baby with a thin blanket. Make sure the child does not cover his mouth with the blanket. Also, the user using AC should get the AC serviced from time to time.
