Afraid that she would be turned in for this, she turned the air conditioner on in one of the bedrooms during the winter and left her child in that room
I am about to have my first child. I have gotten a lot of stuff ready, and my wife has been nesting for a few weeks. We have double and triple checked our heating system to make sure that it works because our baby will be born during the winter. Having a baby soon also means that we receive unsolicited advice from strangers about how to keep our baby comfortable and growing. Some of the advice has been helpful, and some of the advice hasn’t been as helpful. Some people are always telling us that we need to keep the heating system all of the time until he is sweating all of the time. Some people have told us that we need to purchase different HVAC units to purify or humidify the air. However, the strangest advice that I have ever received is what I am about to share with you now. Recently, a lady who is our friend told us that she purchased a window air conditioner for her son. Her son was also born during the winter when he furnace was constantly running to keep the house heated. However, she came from a different country, where they leave children outside in the snow for an hour to toughen them up. Afraid that she would be turned in for this, she turned the air conditioner on in one of the bedrooms during the winter and left her child in that room. It would be freezing cold by the time that she came back, but she continued doing it. Until the kid was 18, he never got sick, not even once.
