Question
What are the comfort standards for indoor temperature and humidity for pregnant women and newborns?
Answer
The room for newborns should be maintained between 20℃ to 22℃ to ensure comfort. Air conditioning or electric fans can usually be used to achieve the appropriate temperature, but it should be avoided to let the wind blow directly on the newborn. Using a low-speed ceiling fan is a better option. When using air conditioning, it is also recommended to open windows regularly for air exchange to keep the indoor air fresh, which is beneficial for the development of the newborn’s respiratory system and ensures their health. The humidity should be kept between 50% to 60%.
