A. Yes, you can use a room heater for your 5-month-old baby, but it requires precautions to ensure safety. Room heaters can dry out the air, which may cause respiratory discomfort, dry skin, or nasal congestion for the baby. To counter this, maintain proper ventilation by keeping a small window or door slightly open for airflow and consider placing a bowl of water in the room to maintain humidity. Avoid using blow heaters that directly blow hot air, as they can overheat the baby. Instead, opt for oil-filled radiators (OFRs) as they are safer, provide uniform heat, and don't dry the air as much. Keep the heater at a safe distance to avoid burns, and monitor the room's temperature to ensure it stays comfortably warm (around 20-22°C). Dress the baby in layers of warm clothing and use blankets when necessary. Always supervise the heater's usage and never leave it unattended.
