The proper temperature for your baby's health and comfort

The health and comfort of everyone in your family is important, and the little ones in your family deserve special attention. At AirFlow Technology, we offer products and ideas that help you achieve a healthful and comfortable temperature throughout your home.

I wanted to share some good and important information from www.askdrsears.com about this topic. Regarding the proper room temperature for infants, Dr. Sears says,

As a general guide, a sleeping environment temperature of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees celsius) is preferable. Preterm infants or newborns weighing less than eight pounds may require a temperature a few degrees higher. Healthy, term newborns weighing more than eight pounds usually have sufficient body fat and mature enough temperature-regulating mechanisms to allow them to sleep comfortably in a room temperature that you find comfortable.

It's good, then, to have a room thermometer by baby's crib to monitor the actual temperature in the room (you can't assume that every room will be at the thermostat temperature). In winter, if baby's room is too hot, you can shut registers or adjust the heating and air conditioning duct pathway. If baby's room is too cold in winter or too hot in summer, however, the AirFlow Breeze can help. It's a register booster that works with HVAC systems. It even has its own built-in thermostat, so it can help you achieve the perfect temperature for health and comfort in your baby's room.
