A newborn baby cannot control his body temperature with the same efficiency as an adult. Newborn babies have large surface area for their body weight and they therefore tend to lose heat rapidly. It is therefore important that you control the baby temperature for him. You do this bymaking sure he is clothed properly and the temperature in the air around him is fairly constant. If possible make his own room temperature at about 22 degrees centigrade and should be wrapped warmly but not that he perspire.

My son developed some problem at the time of birth, he got spasms, I am not aware of the exact thing, but he turned blue. We had to take him to the mutli utility hospital to get him the best possible treatment. He was kept in ICU for a week and then he was sent home. He was liable to infections and complications. We were supposed to take care of his each and every move. His room used to be Euro clean and temprature of his room was monitered regularly, he was to be dressed in cotton fabrics only.Now he is growing up as a normal kid.

Babies also lose a lot of body heat through their heads … one reason why hospitals wrap children in a blanket as well as put a little skull cap on them.

The temperature here is quite hot and is fairly constant at around 24 to 31 degrees celsius. That's why we don't have a problem of the baby getting too cold. On the other hand, we need to make sure that the baby is not too hot.
