Get rid of the old air
Let the fresh air in! Indoor air should be replaced by fresh air on a regular basis. Otherwise, harmful substances (volatile or semi volatile organic compounds), too dry or too damp air, unpleasant odours and carbon dioxide, increased indoor air toxins, increased tiredness, reduced concentration, irritated eyes or mucous membranes and, even, mould formation can easily wreck their havoc. By following a few simple rules, you and your baby don’t have to suffer from these indoor air problems.
Regular airing – three times a day is good – ensures good temperature, humidity and particle dust exchange as well as removing unwanted substances such as pathogens. Airing is especially important before putting the baby to bed. By the way the room temperature for sleeping need be no more than 15 to 17 degrees. Living spaces can be 19 to 22 degrees. Overheated rooms increase the concentration of harmful substances and dust, and dry out the mucous membranes.
