The room can become too warm by the use of heater and this may hamper the respiratory system of the baby. More than that, babies have soft skin and high temperature can lead to redness and rashes.
· Fluctuations in the temperature
When we sit in blowers the room temperature doesn’t match the outside temperature. So once you take the baby out of the room, your baby’s body will go through intense warmth and coldness in the day. Babies can become overheated easily and in the winter babies are more at risk of SIDS.
