FEELING HOT HOT HOT 😎 - The sun is beautiful but keeping your babies and little ones cool can be a challenge and so important for their safety and comfort.
Here are some tips to help you keep them cool:
Dress them appropriately: Dress your baby or young child in lightweight, breathable clothing made of natural fibres such as cotton. Avoid synthetic fabrics as they can trap heat and cause discomfort.

Use sun hats: Protect their head and face from the sun by using wide-brimmed hats that provide shade and cover their neck.

Seek shade: When outdoors, find shaded areas such as under trees, canopies, or umbrellas. Limit direct sun exposure, especially during the hottest parts of the day, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Stay hydrated: Ensure that your baby or child drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. For babies under 6 months old, breastfeeding or formula feeding should be sufficient. For older children, offer water or diluted fruit juices at regular intervals.
Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) to protect their delicate skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a sunscreen specially formulated for babies and young children.
Cool baths or showers: Give your baby or child a lukewarm bath or shower to help lower their body temperature. Avoid using cold water as it may cause discomfort or shock.

Use fans or air conditioning: Keep the indoor environment cool by using fans or air conditioning. Ensure that the room is well-ventilated and not too hot or stuffy.
Use lightweight bedding: Choose lightweight, breathable bedding materials such as cotton or muslin for their crib or bed. Avoid heavy blankets or bedding that can trap heat.
