Air conditioning?

Question

We are going to be having some hotter days this weekend....and our house gets to be like an oven mid day....my LO is just a week and 4 days....am I able to turn on the AC with a newborn?? Its just a small window unit in the living room....normally we have two and keep them on 24/7 lol . its one of the ones where I can adjust the temp too...so it can b set to a not so freezing temp. Advice?

Answer

I think colder is safer for them than hotter. You can always saddle them if you think they're chilly. We keep our AC on set to the low 70s

Answer

My baby has a window ac unit in her room. I think the recommendation is to keep rooms the baby is in around 68-72. And keep them out of the way of where the air blows!

Answer

Yes, you can turn on the air conditioning just don't run it all the time because it might make your baby mucusy. I would boil water on the stove to get humidity back into the house and that helped.

Answer

Safer to have the house cold than hot!

Answer

Yep. Just feel bad frequently and put pants and a shirt on. Also it helps to have air conditioning because I've always found my kids an me don't eat when it's really hot.

Answer

Definitely safe. Best way to check if they're too cold is by touching their feet. But newborns are sensitive so more than likely your LO will let you know they're cold before you have to check.

Answer

Yes it's safe! I wouldn't want my baby roasting in a hot house!
