How To Keep Your Baby Cool In Hot Weather: http://youtu.be/humeo3z_9wk <br /> <br />Hot weather can be dangerous for babies because they are easily affected by the heat. They need to drink regularly, wear light clothing and be kept cool. <br /> <br />Keep your baby cool and protect them from the sun. <br /> <br />Cover your baby’s body, arms and legs with clothing, and make sure you put a sunhat with a wide brim or a long flap at the back to protect their head and neck from the sun. <br /> <br />Babies less than six months old should be kept out of direct sunlight. <br /> <br />Apply sunscreen to babies over 6 months and use a sunshade on your stroller. <br /> <br />Keep your baby’s bedroom cool during the day by closing blinds or curtains. You can also use a fan to circulate the air in the room making sure the fan doesn’t point towards your baby. <br />Keep nightwear and bedclothes to a minimum. If your baby kicks or pushes off the covers during the night, consider putting them in just a nappy with a single layer (0.5 tog*) baby sleeping bag or a well-secured sheet that won’t work loose and cover their face or get entangled during the night. <br />A nursery thermometer will help you monitor the temperature of your baby’s room. Your baby will sleep most comfortably when their room is between 16 to 20 C or around 65-68 F.
