Keeping Baby Cool in The Summer Heat
In case you missed it, ITdaddy, myself and Baby M live in Tennessee, it is HOT in the summer – and while Ms. Maggie will have to develop a tolerance to blazing southern summer sun (I named her after a blooming summer tree for crissakes); I’ve compiled a quick list of great ways (and shameless product plugs) to keep baby fresh and breezy all season long.
Tips and tricks
Keeping Baby Cool in The Summer Heat
Give older babies plenty of juice and water. If your baby is younger than 6 months or breastfeeding, water is unnecessary but be sure to feed frequently.
Stay indoors as much as possible from 1-5 or when the sun is strongest in your neck of the woods.
Play inside in a bath!
Dress your kiddo in cotton clothing and use cotton diapers in leu of disposables when available.
Use buttermilk on heat rashes
Use sunscreen sparingly on younger babies and a baby appropriate formula on older children. Cover them in light layers and don’t forget feet and ears!
