Hello mark!
I can understand your concern.
You should avoid cold weather or wind during winters especially when your child is allergic to cold or if he/she is running cough and cold but not during summers or warm and humid seasons.
Babies also need adequate ventilation to breath.You should maintain normal temperature of room and normal level of humidity like the adults can tolerate.No extra care needed for temperature maintenance for babies
You can open a slit of window to avoid suffocation.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health.
Stay blessed :-)
