Families do not let the fan wind blow directly to the position where the child lies, use a fan with a protective cage, do not use the fan as a toy for the child.
Select fan type
Many families decide between a table fan and a ceiling fan to use in their child's bedroom. To make the right choice, people need to know the size of the room and the outdoor temperature. Usually, table fans are cheaper than ceiling fans, which can be a more economical option.
Wind direction
The family should avoid letting the fan blow the air directly on the baby's position. The reason is that children are prone to sore throats and colds. People can set the rotation mode to circulate the air flow. If you are using a ceiling fan, avoid placing your baby's crib directly under the fan to prevent colds.
Families can turn on the baby's fan all night to keep the bedroom cool and comfortable. If parents are worried that their child has a cold, use the timer function to turn off the fan.

Other Notes
Parents keep fans out of reach of children. If you choose to use a desk fan, you need to choose a fan that's sturdy, doesn't fall over, and doesn't have a long cord to get in the way. If using a ceiling fan, people need to avoid turning on the fan at a high speed, causing the child to get cold. The fan should be placed high but still wide enough to oscillate freely.
The fan must have a protective cage to avoid danger to the baby. Families can also add a fine mesh outside to prevent children from getting their fingers stuck in the rotating propeller. If buying an old fan, the family needs to check more about the safety of the fan to avoid shorting, fire and explosion.
Families do not turn fans into toys for children, do not hang ropes or toys on fans or propellers. People should clean the fan once a month to avoid dust accumulation causing disease.
Benefits of using a fan for children
The fan has the same effect of drying the air as an air conditioner. If a child sweats too much or has eczema, the family can turn on a fan to reduce humidity and blow away the sweat. Fans can also make some regular noise or block the noise, help your baby relax, sleep better, or help soothe an upset baby.
Fans help ventilate and circulate air, helping your baby breathe better, reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In addition, ventilation also keeps children away from airborne bacteria that adults inadvertently release.
