During hot weather, there are several strategies that parents can use to keep their baby cool:
- Dress the baby appropriately: Choose lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics such as cotton. Avoid overdressing the baby. - Use fans or air conditioners: Ensure that the room where the baby sleeps is well-ventilated. A fan or air conditioner can help maintain a comfortable temperature. - Hydration: Keep the baby well-hydrated by offering breast milk or formula frequently. For older babies, water can also be given. - Cool baths: Giving your baby a lukewarm bath can help lower their body temperature. - Shade: When outside, always keep the baby in the shade and use a sunshade on the stroller.
