The open air helps the human being to grow, more so in the case of infants. The child’s room or nursery should be well ventilated and kept clean at all times. The nursery should get free supply of both the air and light. The child should never be kept in a cold and humid surroundings. To save them from the cold, we should wrap them in a blanket.
The infants should be given fresh air and they should be taken out regularly, Of course the timing will depend on the climate outside. Usually early morning sun is the best for the infants. Even if you are unable to take your child outside in the open air, if the child’s room is well ventilated and aired is enough for them to play in. If you have a delicate child then you will need to take care of them and keep them away from the cold or humid climate. But if the child is healthy then you can take them in the open on a regular basis.
Of course, even if the child is very strong and healthy take care and do not allow them to be in the open cold and damp conditions as they then can catch a cold. This may be the cause of lingering diseases like cough and cold in the infants.
