letting fan blow on baby's head

Can someone tell me... Do u think it is ok to put baby's head this close to fan for a few mins (about 5mins)? Reason: baby is hot. Personally i feel it is not ok. But i want to hear from more people. Pls comment. Thx

Best not to, the fan may have a coating of dust on t blades which may fly to the baby and even if it's at t back of baby's head the wind may flow the dust to the face. Wind current bends around round surfaces. Keep fan at a distance. Try cooling forehead with damp(room temperature) cloth?

I guess you're trying to prove a point to someone stubborn, the answer is no, this is too close, def not okay, esp when your baby sweat and the pore is opened..

Of course it is not OK to do so. That's too close and should not blow the fan directly to baby. You may want to put the fan further.

I’ve gone that close before, but I’m carrying baby and so transferring my warmth to baby. I think 5 min is alright.

I think it’s too close for comfort. if the baby has hair, it might get on his face and cause itch.

To me it is rather close too. As if his/her hand goes in it , the child will be injured.

Cfm is the mother in law or own mother bodoh to blow baby's head like that right?

I think it will be better to use fan ans let it oscillate and not bring so close to baby

No, that’s too close. Not for long period of time (eg. Nap)
