I have 2 fans in my baby’s room. One is pointing at the bed but tilted slightly upwards. The other one is an air circulator fan to cool down the room (can bring it down by 1-2 degrees, and also acts as white noise). Still cheaper than air con and doesn’t dry the skin.
How about putting him under a ceiling fan? If no ceiling fan, you can try getting him a small portable clip fan & clip at the side of his cot. Or else just use a normal fan, make it auto rotate, don't blow at him directly.
When the aircon is on you can put a bowl of water or humidifier in the room to make it less dry. I have the aircon on almost all day especially when baby is more active since sweating a lot can cause skin sensitivity also
During the day, you can cool the room in aircon first. Than turn on only the fan. Try to let him sleep on his sides, flipping him time to time. I let my LO sleep in air con 25 degrees, in night. He sleeps well :)
My LO is 5 months. Since 5 weeks old, I let her go topless and with socks when the weather is hot.
how about fan?
