HOW TO KEEP YOUR BABY COOL WHEN IT'S HOT

While feeling tooooo warm and trawling the internet for tips to keep ourselves cool, we really started to feel for Mamma's-to-be and those with really young children. We've collated the best 'cool' tips from experts at babycentre, Emma's Diary and baby sound asleep in this blog for you. While it's warm you'll find us in the studio with the big fan (usually reserved for floaty maternity photos) and drinking the cold drinks we've bought in for our lovely customers - you know you are welcome to join us 😄📷.

Still waiting for your baby to arrive? Mama-To-Be it must be so uncomfortable for you when the weather is hot - read our blog Mama-To-Be How To Stay Cool When The Weather Is Hot.

• Avoid synthetic fabrics that trap heat; opt for loose natural fibres like cotton or muslin
• Give babies as much nappy-free time as possible
• Playing in a paddling pool will keep kiddies cool. Keep it in the shade and supervise their play
• Use a mini fan if you are out and about
• Use cold, wet flannels, or give them a tepid bath or shower to cool their skin. Let them air dry rather than using towels
• Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids

• Remove unnecessary bedding. Opt for a cool muslin sleeping bag
• If they are still hot let them sleep in a vest and nappy, or even just a nappy
• Open windows in several rooms to create a through breeze
• Give them a tepid bath, or sponge bath, before bed and let them air dry while lying on a towel so the evaporation of the water will cool their skin down
• Keep bedrooms cool throughout the day by closing blinds or curtains. Turn a room fan on before bedtime. A fan can be left on all night – but well out of reach and never pointed directly at the cot or bed
• Hanging wet towels over chairs or windows cools the air
• Remove waterproof under sheets or cover with several layers of cotton sheets to absorb perspiration
