Frequently Asked Questions
Q. It’s warm weather and my Gro-egg is on red and
showing the unhappy face. What shall I do?
A. Take action to reduce the room temperature, bedding and
clothing. If it is not possible to bring the room temperature down
then you may need to remove all bedding and clothing from your
baby, leaving them in just a nappy. Additionally you could use a
fan to move air around the room (ensuring it is not within reach
of your baby or pointing directly at your baby) and give your baby
extra drinks. In extremely warm temperatures, sponge your
baby down with luke warm water, If in doubt contact your health
professional.
Q. It’s cold weather and my Gro-egg is on blue. What shall
I do?
A. Take action to increase room temperature, bedding and clothing.
We recommend using a thermostatically controlled heater in the
room where the baby is sleeping, which saves your central heating
being on a all night (make sure that neither the heater or cable are
within reach of your baby’s cot). Increase the level of clothing,
but always make sure your baby’s head is uncovered. If your
baby has become cold, give them a warming cuddle or a warm
drink before returning them to their cot with extra clothing/bedding.
Q. My Gro-egg doesn’t read the temperature I think it
should.
A. The Gro-egg will indicate the temperature of the surrounding air,
so cold drafts and adjacent heating will both affect the reading.
Q. I can’t see the colour of the Gro-egg very well in
daylight.
A. The colours on the Gro-egg are designed to glow gently and be
visible in very low level light or dark conditions. In lighter conditions
use the digital readout.
Q. I have plugged in my Gro-egg but the product doesn’t
seem to be on.
A. Check that the round switch on the base of the Gro-egg is
indented in the ‘on’ position. Check that the power supply lead is
securely in place at the back of the Gro-egg.
