How to take the best care of the baby in summer

Summer means long sunny days, and more fun outside. But the heat might be a bit much for babies. Babies can't keep their body temperature stable like grown-ups can. This leaves them at risk for getting too hot, not having enough water in their bodies, and skin issues. When taking care of babies in the summer, it’s important to keep things breezy, chill, and soothing.

We at Laadlee get how much moms love and care for their tiny tots. We're here to offer kind advice and must-have summer items so you can handle the season with tenderness and without stress. Here's all you need to keep your baby happy when it’s hot.

Go for Breezy Outfits, Keep Them Cool: Tips for Dressing Babies in Summer

Begin with the simple stuff: how to dress your baby when it's hot out. Babies like it best in comfy, airy materials that soak up sweat and allow air to pass through.

How to dress infants in summer:

• Go for baby clothes that are light and made from 100% cotton or organic muslin.

• Choose sleeveless or short-sleeve bodysuits.

• Stay away from fake materials that hold onto sweat and might rub the wrong way.

• Put one more layer on your baby than you've got on, only if it's necessary.

• Always have a thin cotton blanket ready for when your baby's in the stroller or snoozing.

Laadlee offers a bunch of summer stuff for babies, and our -made baby wear is just right for tender skin and staying cozy when it's hot.

Baby Hydration Hints 

Babies get thirsty, too, when it's hot out. They have to stay hydrated to dodge heat problems.

• For the tiny ones under half a year: Just stick to breast milk or formula. Just up the number of feedings.

• For the kiddos over 6 months: Time to introduce a few chilled water sips after eating. Have a clean bottle on hand for water or milk when you're not home.

• Keep an eye peeled for thirst signals – not peeing much chapped lips, or getting cranky.

Here's a cool tip: Toss your feeding gear, like bottles, into a neat cool tote to keep 'em from getting yucky when you're on the go.

Battle Against Heat Rashes and Skin Bother 

When it's muggy out, babies' skin doesn't play nice. Getting hit with heat or diaper rashes during summer is no fun at all.

Ways to fend off and ease skin troubles:

• Run a bath for your kid each day using water that's not too hot and some soft soap.

• Just dab their skin to dry it—no scrubbing.

• Slap on some diaper rash ointment that has zinc oxide every time you switch diapers to shield those tender spots.

• Opt for baggy clothes for your little one so they stay cool and avoid sweaty creases.

• Make sure the room's cool with a fan or AC, just be sure not to point it right at them.

Laadlee suggests picking products for babies that are free from perfumes and have passed skin safety tests when it's hot, to prevent any skin trouble.

Chill Slumbers in the Heat: Where to Put the Crib & What should the Nursery’s temperature 

Babies need their rest, and sometimes, the summery warmth messes with their snooze time. Here's the lowdown for smooth nap times and silent nights.

• Pop the little one's cot away from the sunlight blast and any windows.

• Go for breezy cotton sheets and skip the thick blankets or cushions.

• Aim to keep the nursery's thermometer reading at a cozy 24°C–26°C.

• Cool down the space with a fan on the ceiling or an AC just don't blast it straight at the munchkin.

• Kit out your child in a single layer of pyjamas that’s breathable to let their skin get some air.

Ensuring a baby's sleep is comfy matters a lot—Laadlee creates baby products which are breathable sleep gear to help infants snooze even when it gets hot.

Outdoor Time: When & How to Take Your Baby Out for Some Air 

Babies benefit from fresh air—still, in summer, picking the right time and guarding them is important.

Suggestions for protected outdoor fun:

• Dodge the sun at its strongest: Go outdoors either before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m.

• Suit up your infant with a wide-brimmed hat and airy clothes with long sleeves to guard against the sun.

• Slather on a gentle, safe-for-baby sunscreen on skin that's not covered if your child is 6 months or older.

• Pack more water, food containers, and a thin cover.

• Look out for overheating signals such as red cheeks or unease.

Quick strolls outside or trips to the park can boost your little one's spirits and improve their snooze time. Yet always prioritize their well-being.
