Question
The indoor temperature in my home is maintained at 24-25 degrees. For a three-and-a-half-month-old baby, what type of clothing should I give him during the day? For example, is a small woolen vest and warm pants suitable?
Answer
At 24-25 degrees Celsius, the room temperature is quite high for a baby, which may lead to overheating as thicker clothing is worn due to the higher temperature. A report by CCTV once stated that this could cause a baby to “suffer from heatstroke in winter.” The ideal room temperature should be between 18-20 degrees. You can judge whether it’s suitable by observing the baby’s body temperature and skin temperature. If the baby cries loudly, this may mean he is too hot and needs to be adjusted promptly.
