Choose Summer Friendly Clothing

Light, tight-woven clothing is best for keeping the sun out.Clothes with lots of holes in it actually allows the sun to get in rather than keeping them cool. A sun hat is also recommended.

You’ll need to give your baby more to drink when it’s hotter to avoid dehydration.This can be difficult if they’re not yet able to drink water or juice.

Let Them Play In The Water

Summer Safety For The Car

Never leave your baby in the car alone.Cars heat up quickly, and your baby is more sensitive to the effects of this than you are. Also pay attention the carrier - some are better for the heat than others. Stop and remove your baby from the carrier if they look flushed.
