At what age can a baby use a fan?

In summer, because the weather is very hot and humid, the baby's skin will often sweat. If the sweat on the baby's skin is not evaporated in time, because the baby's skin is very delicate, it is easy to have some skin problems, such as skin diseases such as eczema. Therefore, the sweat on the baby's body should be wiped off in time. On hot days, everyone likes to use fans, but how old should the baby be to use fans?

Baby fan: no age limit

At what age can a baby use a fan? In the hot summer, babies have well-developed sweat glands and will sweat a lot, especially when they go to bed, which makes it impossible for them to sleep. It is said that it is not good for the health of babies to use fans, but this is not true. Babies can use fans as long as the fan is not blowing directly at the baby.

The correct way to use the baby fan

The weather is hot in summer, so it is okay to use an electric fan to cool your baby down. However, if the electric fan is used improperly, it may easily cause the baby to catch a cold or have diarrhea. Therefore, parents must master the correct method of using an electric fan on their baby.

1. Choose a fan with gentle wind power, or use the sleep function of the fan.

2. The electric fan should be placed away from the baby. Never blow it directly at the baby or in one direction.

3. Do not set the air volume too high. It is better to use the electric fan with shaking head and rotating wind, and the use time should not be too long.

4. When the baby is eating, sleeping, defecating, or changing clothes, be especially careful not to blow the electric fan directly on him.

5. Find the best angle to place the fan or air conditioner in the room to create an environment similar to natural wind.

6. When turning on the electric fan or air conditioner, dress your baby in thin and appropriate clothing. It is best to wear a small belly band on the chest and stomach to prevent the belly from catching a cold.

When your baby sweats a lot, don't use a fan on him.

When your baby sweats a lot, do not use an electric fan to blow air on him. Because the baby's skin is delicate and has abundant capillaries, the body temperature regulation center is not yet fully developed and has poor regulation function. However, the wind source of electric fans is concentrated and the wind force is strong. The sweat on the parts of the body surface that are blown by the wind will evaporate quickly, while the sweat on the parts that are not blown by the wind will evaporate very slowly, thus causing an imbalance in the body's sweat excretion. Because the baby's body temperature regulation system has not yet matured, it is in an unstable state. If this is coupled with uneven sweat excretion, which causes disharmony between the various systems and parts of the body, it is very easy to cause disease. In mild cases, it causes runny nose and nasal congestion, while in severe cases, it can lead to bronchitis or even pneumonia.
