Patient's question:
It's very cold outside now. I'm worried about my baby catching a cold, so I've been keeping the natural gas heater running during the day and the air conditioner running at night while the baby sleeps. Will this affect a two-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
It's not a big deal, as long as you pay attention to many details. When the air conditioner is on, the air becomes extremely dry, which is not good for your baby's skin. It should be used together with a humidifier, and it shouldn't be left on for 24 hours straight. Proper ventilation through windows is also necessary. Your baby is only 2 months old now, and all his organs are still very weak. It's best not to use the air conditioner, as it can also affect his breathing. If the air conditioner hasn't been cleaned, it can contain dust, bacteria, and other impurities.The above advice is for the question "Does using an air conditioner have a significant impact on infants?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
