Can my child sleep comfortably with air conditioning?
⚡ Short answer: Air conditioning is safe when used correctly: keep the temperature steady at 22-24°C, aim the air flow upward away from baby, dress them in light cotton, and ventilate the room occasionally.

We need the air conditioning on during summer heat, but I'm worried it will harm the baby. What temperature should it be, and what should I watch for?

I understand your concern about air conditioning, but when used properly, it won't hurt your baby—in fact, it can help them sleep comfortably in the heat. Keep the room temperature steady between 22-24°C. Point the air conditioner's vents upward and away from the baby's crib—direct air flow can dry out the airways. Adding a humidifier or a bowl of water to the room helps. Dress your baby in a single light cotton sleeper; don't add heavy blankets on top. Check if your baby feels warm (not cool) by touching the back of their neck, not their wrists. Open a window every few hours for fresh air. Keep the temperature above 24°C—aim for a cool, fresh room rather than cold.
