Keep Baby Cool on Hot Days - Dress baby appropriately for warm weather. Wearing light colored clothing that is not too tight will help baby's body to "breathe" easier. Lightweight cotton clothing is the best choice when picking out baby's outfit.
Skip the socks. Yes, they're cute, but your baby will thank you for leaving his feet bare on hot days. The feet are where a lot of body heat is generated, if they are covered they will simply retain that heat, making baby very uncomfortable.
Keep Baby Cool on Hot Days
Keep plenty of fluids on hand to cool baby off and keep him hydrated on those hot days. If you notice your baby is not having many wet diapers, he may be getting dehydrated. Putting a frozen gel icepack in the diaper bag will help to keep baby's water or formula cold.
Shade your baby as much as you can. Make sure your stroller has a sunshade to protect baby from the heat of the sun.
Put a wide-brimmed hat, which also covers her neck, on your baby if a sunshade is not available. If both are available, use both. There is no such thing as too much protection from heat and sun for your little one.
It's your baby's first summer and you can't wait to get him outdoors to see the birds, butterflies and sun. It is important to remember that babies can get easily overheated during warm weather. Below are a few simple steps you can take to avoid baby getting too hot. - by eHow
