Question
With the weather particularly cold lately, I’m worried about my baby catching a cold. During the day, we keep the natural gas heater on, and at night, we use the air conditioning to sleep. Is this harmful to a two-month-old baby?
Answer
Using air conditioning has little impact on babies, but it’s important to maintain appropriate humidity levels. You can use a humidifier and avoid keeping the air conditioning on for extended periods. Remember to open windows for ventilation regularly. Additionally, if the air conditioner is not cleaned regularly, it may accumulate dust and bacteria, which can be harmful to your baby’s respiratory system. It’s recommended to clean the air conditioner regularly to minimize its impact on your baby.
