Dear Patient: Please do not put your baby in cotton net. Put the baby in thin synthetic net. There will be free flow of air and then baby will not feel uncomfortable in net. Good night machine and liquid is safe for baby. It is much better than mosquitoes. You can put the baby in adult mosuito net also. Alternately, you can use the black Hit at evening time. Mosquito enters the house at evening time mainly. Here you can regulate the amount of spray. To my experience it is better. Once you enter the net, you need not use the good night liquid for whole night.

RESPECTED SIR,
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
IN http://www.mamypoko.com/in/en/mamatips/baby_development/01.html IT STATES THAT Baby cannot regulate his body temperature yet,so you'll need to adjust the room temperature, his clothing, and his bedding accordingly.
Body temperature is slightly high, around 37 degrees Celsius.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IS THIS 37 DEGREE TEMPERATURE IS VERY IMPORTANT. WHAT TEMPERATURE BABY MUST KEPT WHO IS BORN ON 25TH OCT 2013. MY BABY IS APPROX 16 DAYS OLD MALE CHILD. I AM WORRIED IN WHAT TEMPERATURE HE SHOULD KEPT IN ROOM. PLEASE GUIDE ME. REGARDS.

Human babies survive all sort of temperature from tropic to Artic region. Baby needs extra care. Such care is provided by parents. But then millions of babies are living and surviving in huts of the poor also. If you are feeling cold, then baby is also feeling cold. If you are feeling hot, then baby is also feeling hot. You need not keep the temperature of the room maintained, unless it is too cold winter. Then room heater may be required in winter. See that your too much care does not put baby in too hot environment.
