I have the same question. Due to have a baby very soon and wondering what to do about our very warm bedroom. Temperature is often 27 or more but as it is a small room I am reluctant to put on the aircon / fan as it gives even hubby and me a sore throat/dry eyes, (even with humidifier on), so I am sure it can't be good for baby. Not to mention all the extra bugs etc. humidifiers can cause. Even though all the sites I have referenced maintain that the ideal nursery temperature is 16-20, I am not sure that this is realistic in HK even with aircons at this time of year (and let's face it, millions of babies have been surviving in hot climates for millenia without aircons or fans). At the moment I am thinking to have aircon on in an adjacent room to cool somewhat, use the bowls of water to humidify as suggested in an earlier post, and dress baby appropriately...I guess a short sleeved body suit/light swaddle blanket. Any other comments or ideas very welcome.
