Tips to Keep Your Baby Cool & Comfortable in Summer | Me & Mummy Baby Products

Summer brings sunshine, fun, and long days—but for babies, it can also bring heat, sweat, rashes, dehydration, and discomfort. Because babies cannot regulate their body temperature as well as adults, they need extra care during hot weather.

To help parents, Me & Mummy Baby Products brings you simple, practical, and effective tips to keep your little one cool, safe, and happy throughout summer.

☀️ Why Babies Need Extra Care in Summer

• Their sweat glands are still developing

• They get dehydrated quickly

• Heat can cause rashes & irritation

• High temperature affects sleep

• Their skin is thin & sensitive

With the right routine and baby-friendly products, you can keep your baby fresh and comfortable.

🌼 Top Tips to Keep Your Baby Cool & Comfortable in Summer

1. Dress Your Baby in Soft, Breathable Clothes

Avoid heavy or synthetic fabrics.
Choose:

• 100% cotton

• Muslin

• Light pastel colors

• Loose-fitting clothes

Me & Mummy’s summer babywear keeps your baby comfortable all day.

2. Keep Your Baby Hydrated

For babies:

• Under 6 months: Breastmilk or formula is enough

• Above 6 months: Offer small sips of water between feeds

Hydration prevents heat exhaustion and irritability.

3. Use Lightweight Diapers

Heat + diapers can cause sweating and rashes.
Choose:

• Ultra-soft

• Breathable

• Rash-free diapers

Change frequently to keep the baby dry.

4. Give a Lukewarm Bath

Baths help lower body temperature.
Add:

• A mild baby body wash

• Soft towel drying

• A light baby lotion

Avoid very cold water—it shocks the skin.

5. Create a Cool Sleeping Environment

Make your baby’s room comfortable:

• Keep the room ventilated

• Use a fan (not directly on baby)

• Keep curtains closed during peak heat

• Use thin blankets or just a sheet

A well-ventilated room helps babies sleep peacefully.

6. Avoid Going Out During Peak Heat (12–4 PM)

If you must go:

• Use a sun hat

• Apply baby-safe sunscreen (for babies 6+ months)

• Keep baby in shaded areas

Babies overheat faster in direct sunlight.

7. Use Light Bedding

Avoid heavy blankets or thick bedsheets.
Use:

• Thin cotton bedsheets

• Soft, breathable mats

• Me & Mummy’s bed protectors (non-sticky & airy)

8. Protect Against Heat Rashes

Prickly heat is very common in summer.
To prevent it:

• Keep baby dry

• Avoid overdressing

• Use baby-safe powder (if advised by doctor)

• Change diapers often

9. Offer Cooling Foods (For Babies 6+ Months)

If your baby has started solids, give:

• Watermelon (puree)

• Cucumber mash

• Coconut water (small amounts)

• Homemade curd

• Seasonal fruits

This helps maintain hydration naturally.

10. Never Leave Baby in a Hot Car

Even for a minute—car temperatures rise extremely fast and can be dangerous.
