Question
The newborn has been using an electric heater for warmth for the past 50 days, and I am worried about the potential adverse effects of this heating method on the child.
Answer
This method of heating is safe for the child and there is no need to worry too much about radiation effects. However, as the weather warms up, it should be gradually reduced, and attention should be paid to the child’s body temperature regulation to avoid overheating leading to fever. Moreover, spending more time outdoors and exposing the child to sunlight can also be beneficial for the child’s health.
