question
I'm confused as my LO is 25 days old and my MIL always says to swaddle him n put blanket all the time and keep the Fan in slow mode and do not open windows. Now here in Kolkata its raining but temp is around 26 - 29 degree. Actually my Lil one caught some cold and doc prescribe one antibiotic drop. I don't know it's because my MIL bath him everyday or it's sweating under the swaddle or because I opened the window while it's raining outside. My Mother on other hand always ask to keep the room airy... N not to swaddle him everytime... What to do? I'm confused and frustrated. I m the one who is taking care of him 24x7 also hearing all this making me frustrated as if because of me my baby suffering.... Please help me to take correct decision. TIA.

Proper ventilation is important.<br> Also let baby adjust to the temperature but slowly.<br> Fan blanket sweating definitely cause problem. Everything should be moderate.<br> Ask yourself what is right for baby.<br> Keep away from direct fan and direct air from window. If baby is sweating than light air from.fan or window is not good

Tell ur mil gently that always swaddling is not required . If baby is sweating use light weight cotton clothes. <br> <font color ="#3b5998"><b><a href="http://app.babychakra.com/article/2728">5 Home Remedies For Treating Cold In Babies</a></b></font>

Hi<br> Swaddling is fine, but most important is temperature. If its around 25 degrees you can let the baby without covering much with comfortable clothing. Do not make the baby sweat inside the swaddle keep checking.

Hey Anon the baby can take the same temperature as u .. swaddle and blanket at 29 degress is sheer torture. . Pls swaddle the baby only while slp and not other. Pls use cotton clothes and light clothes. Bath evryday is good but at the right time.
