Keep this in mind before making children sleep in AC or cooler
- If you make your child sleep in an AC or cooler, always ensure that the direct air does not fall on your child. Children have a weak immune system, 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 have problems like cold, cough etc.
- Do not keep the child in cold temperature for a long time, as it can lead to the risk of hypothermia. If you make your child sleep in an AC room, keep the AC temperature between 23 and 26. If the temperature is lower than this, the child can fall ill.
- Keep the window or door open while running the cooler, this will allow air circulation and the room temperature will remain comfortable. Also, there will be no problem of sweating.
- Children should wear cotton clothes during summer season. You should dress your child in loose and full-sleeved clothes. You can also wear light cotton socks and caps.
- Cover the child with a thin blanket. Make sure that the child does not cover his mouth with the blanket. Also, the user who uses the AC should get the AC serviced from time to time.
