Every summer, the weather is always unbearably hot. Especially this summer, there is widespread high heat in most parts of the country, and the ground temperature in some areas has even reached 74°C. In such weather, babies will definitely not be able to bear it if the air conditioner is not turned on.
In the minds of many parents, the optimal temperature for air conditioning is 26°C. Many of my adults and some mothers think so.
Indeed, according to human body comfort, when the room temperature is 26°C, we will be very comfortable.
Some experts also said that turning on the air conditioner at 26 degrees is the most comfortable temperature for the human body, including babies.
However, in fact, the value of 26℃ is not certain, because 26℃ is limited to a constant environment.
Furthermore, all standards are unified and unchanging, but the temperature is changeable. If parents foolishly follow this standard, if they blindly let their babies use 26°C air conditioners, then sooner or later the baby will get sick.
Why is it not the most comfortable for babies when the air conditioner is turned on at 26℃?
First of all, the temperature is a changeable situation. The temperature will fluctuate every day. The indoor temperature will also change due to changes in outdoor temperature.
For example, it is often hot at noon, so the temperature of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted lower. When the temperature is lower at night, the temperature of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted higher.
Secondly, it is the baby's activity state. Because the baby is active and inactive, the body generates different amounts of heat. When the baby is in a relatively quiet state, the body generates less heat, so 26°C is not appropriate. 27 ℃ is the more suitable temperature.
When the baby is in a more active state, 26°C is more suitable, because the baby's body produces relatively more heat at this time, and adjusting to 26°C can help the baby cool down.
Finally, we also need to consider the indoor humidity issue. Because the greater the humidity, the baby's sensory temperature will increase, and the lower the humidity, the baby's sensory temperature will decrease. The optimal temperature we call 26°C is a temperature within the appropriate humidity range.
Of course, if there is a problem with humidity, we'd better use the dehumidification function of the air conditioner to coordinate control with the humidifier to control the humidity within an optimal range.
So, after adjusting the temperature, can we safely let the baby use the air conditioner? Many parents don't think so, and they even thought that if their babies blow air conditioners frequently, they will get air-conditioning disease .
The reason why parents have such thoughts is actually caused by their insufficient understanding of air conditioners.
The so-called air-conditioning disease is actually some physical discomfort caused by incorrect use of air-conditioning. If parents can use air-conditioning correctly, then air-conditioning disease can be completely avoided.
So, how to blow the air conditioner correctly so that the baby will not get sick?
Babies are the darlings of their parents, and parents naturally don’t want their babies to get sick because of the air conditioner.
Therefore, when parents blow air conditioners on their babies, they must pay attention to some issues, so as to prevent their babies from getting sick due to the air conditioners.
① Pay attention to the air conditioner wind direction
In recent years, we can often see some "air conditioning baffle" products on the market. Why such products appear? In fact, it is to relieve physical discomfort caused by direct air blowing.
Therefore, when using the air conditioner, parents must be careful not to let the air conditioner wind blow directly on the baby to prevent the baby from being blown by the cold wind for a long time and causing cold illness.
★ Correct usage: In general, we do not need an "air conditioner baffle" because the wind direction and wind speed of the air conditioner are adjustable. You only need to adjust the air conditioner wind direction and wind speed to the appropriate position.
For example, when we are watching TV in the living room, we can position the wind direction upward so that the baby cannot be blown.
In addition, many smart air conditioners now have a "people avoidance" function. We only need to turn on this function, and the wind from the air conditioner will not blow directly on the human body in the room, thus ensuring the health of the baby.
② Pay attention to the use period of air conditioner
The use period of air conditioner is an issue that many parents ignore, but this issue is very important.
What parents need to pay most attention to is the period when the baby comes home and goes out, because if you use air conditioning during this period, you must pay attention to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. If the temperature difference is too large, it is very likely to cause "air conditioning disease" in the baby.
★ Correct usage: Generally speaking, before preparing to go out, it is best for parents to turn off the air conditioner and allow the indoor temperature to rise slowly. When the indoor and outdoor temperature difference reaches within 8℃, take the baby out again. This can effectively reduce the risk of air conditioning disease in the baby. occur.
The same is true when the baby comes home. After the baby comes home, parents should not adjust the temperature of the air conditioner too low, but should pay attention to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. ensures that the indoor temperature will not differ too much from the outside temperature in a short period of time.
In addition to the entry and exit periods, parents also need to pay attention to the night use periods. Because the air conditioner will reduce indoor humidity when it is running, it is impossible for parents to get up frequently at night to replenish water for their babies or adjust the humidifier. At the same time, the temperature at night is much lower than during the day, and babies generally have higher body heat in the first half of the night and less heat in the second half of the night. The body produces less heat.
Therefore, it is recommended that parents only use the air conditioner in the first half of the night and deactivate it in the second half of the night. We can achieve this operation purpose by turning off the air conditioner at a scheduled time. This kind of use period can significantly reduce the baby's chance of getting sick and ensure the baby's health.
③ Pay attention to indoor ventilation
Ventilation problem is a big problem when using air conditioners, and it is also an issue that many people tend to ignore. However, if you use air conditioners for a long time without paying attention to ventilation, it is likely to cause health problems for your baby, such as Respiratory diseases, etc. Therefore, when using air conditioning for babies, be sure to remember to ventilate
★ Recommended correct ventilation method:
- After using the air conditioner for a period of time, deactivate the air conditioner, and then open the window for ventilation to allow indoor air circulation.
- When using the air conditioner, turn on the ventilation option of the air conditioner. The ventilation function of the air conditioner itself can play the role of indoor and outdoor air exchange, but because the ventilation of the air conditioner is not a specialized fresh air system , the ventilation function The effect is very average. When using the air conditioner for a long time, it is still recommended to open the windows for ventilation every day, but it does not need to be so frequent.
- If a fresh air air conditioner is installed at home, it will save trouble. Directly turning on the fresh air system can achieve the purpose of ventilation , and the fresh air system can also filter impurities in the outdoor air, and the ventilation effect is better and can be effective Maintain your baby's health.
If parents can do the above points, then the use of air conditioners by babies in summer will not affect the baby's health to a certain extent, but will be beneficial to the baby's health. For example, babies who use air conditioners will not develop prickly heat , etc.
Conclusion
The development of technology is to facilitate people's daily lives. We must use technological products rationally to improve our quality of life, and more importantly, to maintain the health and development of babies.
Therefore, parents should have an objective and comprehensive understanding of air conditioners and use them correctly so that their babies can feel refreshed and comfortable throughout the summer.
