You can use but should maintain temperature range between 25-28
Try to keep the baby away from direct blow of air
Suddenly taking your baby out from the cool temperature to the hot atmosphere might affect him/her adversely. It’s always better you switch off the AC and wait for some time so that he/she gets used to the outside temperature before stepping out.
Since the dust and other toxic items collected in the ac filters may harm the baby, it is best to get your AC serviced and cleaned at regular intervals.
Apply baby moisturizer at regular intervals to keep skin smooth. This will help balance the dryness in the air.
