Children, Home Heating & Loss of Moisture!

This advice is something, I grew up with, that my dear Mum, taught me to do.

I grew up in a home, with an open fire, then later on a  slow combustion fire.....which is nice to keep you snug & cosy......but not much good for you.

Open fires, slow combustion fires &  Electric Heaters.........all take the oxygen out of the air.  Which  in  turn, makes your skin dry out....makes you drowsy and also some people have  breathing problems.

My Mum taught us, to put bowls of water, in the rooms where the heat was going.......to replace the moisture, that was lost, because of the heat.

It's amazing, just how much water disappears, from the bowls in a couple of days. Loss of moisture & oxygen is no good for babies, children & adults.

As we live with a slow combustion fire, I still to this day, use bowls of water.

This is just another suggestion....before putting babies, children or yourselves to bed......about 10 minutes before......shut the door.    A cooler room makes for a better environment for a better sleep....than a hot room.

Just thought i'd share this with you.
