Children and sauna
Children can use the sauna, but with some additional precautious. Children’s’ sauna bathing can take place when a child is able to express its discomfort and unpleasant feeling in an understandable way (to its parents). Then you can try the sauna with your child, but be sure to leave the sauna when it starts to feel uncomfortable. Besides this, you should follow some ‘rules’. You should allow your child to sit just on the lower benches where it is a lower temperature. Normally, for children from age 2-5, staying in sauna for 10 minutes, at temperature of 70ºC is too much.
It is important to say here that 70% of Finnish children have their first sauna bath before the age of one year and moreover, 95% of them before the age of two. More interesting is the fact that the Finnish children are among the healthiest in the world.
