Best way to reduce high humidity in house

[RandomGrinch]

Though I think at 7 months I slept with my parents for warmth.

...and that is now considered an outdated and risky practice...

Safer sleep in winter

Things to consider for your baby and their sleep space during the colder months

The oil takes a long time to heat up so on balance there is zero difference between a fan heater and oil heater.
There is nothing wrong with sleeping in an unheated bedroom, at any age.

Utter rubbish from your own feeble mind...and potentially lethal. Babies and toddlers are far more susceptible to colds and chest infections as their immune system has not yet developed fully. The advice is to maintain a temperature of 18c..see NHS, Midwifery council etc etc...

By the way the sudden infant death rate in the 30,40 and 50's before central heating was 8% , by 1970 it was 0.25%...creating a warm space for all babies is part of the current government strategy for reducing infant mortality and was one of the key principles in setting the fuel support package.

Babies are far more susceptible to over heating than cold .
You don’t get a cold from being cold. Mortality rates were reduced as a direct results in improvements to health care with the introduction of the national health service.
I’ll forgive you the personal attack , often resorted to as a result of low intellect .

So no problem me using an oil radiator, then? I'd rather that than leaving a fan heater unattended!

As for sleeping in an unheated bedroom, fundamentally there is nothing wrong with that, no -- but of course the occupant(s) need to be kept comfortable, so the warmth needs to come from a source.

The occupant in question is a seven month old infant who sleeps in a baby sleeping bag. Blankets are a risk at that age, because he flips over and turns around and could easily wrap himself into a blanket, so because he cannot fully regulate his temperature yet (and to stop him getting cold hands/feet) we keep the room at a comfortable 16. The health visitor we have (a veteran of 34 years!) says that is a good temperature.

Agreed, just a few days ago the NHS was stressing 16-18C for babies bedrooms as a way to get them sleeping well.
