In the summer time when the weather is hot and uncomfortable, if we wear clothes for babies incorrectly, it can make them uncomfortable and cry, because the baby’s body temperature is often higher than that of adults. Therefore, mothers need to be careful when wearing clothes for babies in the summer.
Choose breathable and absorbency material
In addition, the mother can choose linen for the baby, linen has the advantage of being cool, light, soft but more creased and wrinkled than cotton. Summer baby clothes should be created from lightweight, natural cotton fibres.
Natural fibres absorb moisture easily and allow breathability. This assists your baby to regulate their temperature and prevents them from overheating
Choose shorts
Many mothers are afraid that their new-born baby is still weak, so they often let their children wear long-sleeved clothes even on hot summer days. This is not necessary because a baby’s body temperature is usually higher than adult. During the day, babies should wear shorts, short-sleeved shirts, skirts, or bodysuits to help them feel more comfortable, comfortable, and not sweaty. At night or if you are in an air-conditioned room, you should dress your baby in long-sleeved clothes but choose a fabric that is thin, soft and absorbent.
Prefer white clothes or light colors
Wear your baby white clothes, or light and bright colors such as blue, pink, light yellow… will bring a cool and comfortable feeling to the baby. The bolder, more prominent colors such as red, orange … will make the baby dazzle or the dark colors like black, brown will absorb more heat, making the baby hot.
White or lighter colored clothes will minimize the chemical dyes in the clothes, helping the baby avoid bad effects such as skin irritation and allergies.
Hats and gloves
Newborn babies’ fontanelle has not yet healed, so they need to wear a hat and gloves to avoid getting cold. However, the baby’s head is easy to sweat, so the mother only needs to wear a hat for the baby in the first week after birth and then let the baby’s head cool. Many mothers are afraid that the baby’s head will be affected, so wearing a hat for the baby all day makes the baby hot, uncomfortable, sweats and clogs the pores, making the baby prone to scalp inflammation.
Layers of clothing
This is one of the first things that parents have to notice when wearing layers of clothes for your baby.
This is because when your baby is moving in hot temperatures outside or in an air-conditioned environment in the home, he or she may still be uncomfortable because of the temperature change. Then, if your child is wearing layers of clothing, you will be able to easily take them off if he’s hot or put on extra clothes if he’s cold. In addition to sunscreen, parents need to wear hats and sunglasses to protect their children’s skin. This helps protect your baby’s skin from the sun while keeping him cool.
Consider sun protection.
Baby’s skin is very sensitive babies and should be kept out of direct sunlight. When you’re out and about with your baby, dress them in protective clothing and use a baby hat to keep their little head covered. If your baby will tolerate them,
baby sunglasses with UV protection 15 minutes before heading out are an effective way to protect their eyes from the sun.
opt for light colors
During the warmer months, dress your baby in pastels and light-colored neutrals, such as gray and white. Light colors absorb less heat compared to darker colors, keeping your baby cooler in hot weather.
