Question
Why can’t children sleep with electric heaters?
Answer
It’s best not to use electric heaters. Children’s brains are still developing, and they have poor temperature regulation abilities. The rapid heating by electric heaters may cause a sudden increase in body temperature, leading to dehydration. Additionally, bedwetting might cause electric heater leakage, posing a safety risk. It’s recommended to heat the bed with an electric heater before the child goes to bed and to turn off the power when sleeping. Children are more adaptable to cold temperatures, so it’s not advisable to over-rely on electric heaters as it may affect growth and development. Adding a layer of towel blanket inside the bed can help reduce the feeling of coldness.
