Newborn children are fairly fragile creatures that are very sensitive to both increase and lower temperature. In this article we will tell you what the temperature in the room should be.
Temperature in the room of a newborn child: norm
Please note that the norms for adults and children are slightly different. If the adult calmly tolerates the temperature + 18, it provokes good sleep, vigor, rapid falling asleep, then in children this temperature can cause hypothermia. This is especially true for newborn children. Many sources indicate that if the house has a newborn child, it is best to maintain the temperature in the room at the level of plus 18-19, but many parents note that the baby at this temperature becomes very restless, tearful, does not fall asleep well.
Even if the mother managed to rock the baby in her arms, then when moving into the crib, the child begins to whimper again. This is due to the fact that the bed is cold, and the air is much colder than that of the mother in her arms. Therefore, the baby wakes up. Accordingly, in other sources, you can find information that it is best if the temperature in the room of the child is at the level of plus 22. This is not cold and not hot. At this temperature, it is necessary to put on a swing, slider, caps, cover with a light, thin blanket. To understand that the child overheats, just look at his body.
If he sweats, sweating appears on the body, it is necessary to reduce the temperature. In winter, this can be done by ventilation. It is recommended to ventilate two to three times a day for 10 minutes. At the same time, it is advisable to take out the child from the room. Much attention should be paid to humidity. It should be about 60%, because very dry air provokes the occurrence of respiratory diseases. It is difficult for the child to breathe, the mucous membrane is drying out, which can cause insomnia, poor well -being. Therefore, we recommend that parents with young children purchase air humidifiers.
What temperature should be in the room in summer and winter?
Accordingly, it is necessary to maintain a temperature at about 20 degrees. In no case should you allow an increase in temperature above 25 degrees. This will necessarily provoke the occurrence of sweating, as well as a bad sleep of the baby. He will constantly turn, worry. It is better to maintain a lower temperature than high. What to do if the room is cold in winter? In people who have central heating during serious frosts, the temperature may drop below 20 or even 18 degrees. There are apartments in which the temperature is reduced to 16 degrees.
In this case, it is necessary to include heaters. But the fact is that they very much dry the air in the room. Accordingly, the best option is the acquisition of not a thermal fan that drives warm air and burns oxygen in the room, but an oil or infrared radiator. Together with such acquisitions, it is necessary to put an air humidifier in the room. Such objects as aquariums, fountains, hanging wet towels on the battery, give moisture very quickly, so they are not suitable for maintaining a constant level of humidity. There are inexpensive moisturizers that can be purchased in order to maintain humidity at a constant value. This is a great option for a child.
What is normal room temperature?
The minimum norm for an adult is a temperature of +18. This is exactly what is the lower permissible level in the heating season when the central heating batteries work. Accordingly, if the temperature drops below + 18, it is necessary to call employees of the housing office to flush pipes and eliminate the causes of such a low temperature. On their own, you can put a heater in the room.
What to do in a room with a child in the summer, when it is very hot? If the newborn is born in the summer, high temperature can really be observed. What to do if there is no air conditioner in the room, but it’s very hot outside? In this case, we recommend that the crib is hanged by wet towels and open the balcony or windows for ventilation. At the same time, it is advisable not to give the child the exposure to the draft, to take him to another room.
Such measures will help to slightly increase humidity and make the air more acceptable. In addition, you should not wrap the child in the summer, put pajamas, sliders, and swings on him. It is enough to leave the child in panties or in one diaper. Even when it is very hot outside, the temperature and heat transfer of the child, who has just been born, is significantly different from the adult. Therefore, if the adult is hot, this does not mean that the baby is also very hot. A thin body will be quite enough if the room is very hot.
The fact is that with an increase in temperature on the body, a child may have a sweating. Accordingly, you will have to take care of the skin of the baby more. It is necessary to treat the child with talcum more often, wipe with damp cloths and be sure to bathe in warm water in the evening with herbs that dry the skin. For example, a series and chamomile will interfere with the occurrence of a patch or rash on the baby’s body.
