HOW SHOULD I DRESS MY CHILD IN SUMMER?

The common concern of mothers is that their babies are more vulnerable to diseases in the winter season. They think that summer will come as soon as possible so that their babies will be healthier. They want to make all their holiday plans in these months and want to have the comfort of home in the place they go.

Each season has its own pros and cons. Summer times do not mean that your baby will not get sick, as it is thought. When you do not do what needs to be done in the summer heat, you will have more trouble than the winter season.

If you are going to spend time with your baby outdoors during summer days, these times must be before 10:00 in the morning and after 15.00 so that your baby can be protected from the harmful rays of the sun.

You should definitely protect your baby outdoors under an umbrella, in shaded places and with a wide-brimmed hat.

It is also very important that your baby's clothes are correct. You should definitely choose thin light-colored breathable clothes made of cotton fabric. Nowadays, it is useful to get baby clothes made of breathable fabrics produced with high technology, if you can afford them. Nylon, synthetic and polyester fabrics will not absorb sweat, so you should carefully avoid them, as they will cause irritation of the baby's sensitive skin and a rash.

Considering that especially the head, neck and upper body sweat a lot in the summer heat, it should be known that clothes made of synthetic fabrics will prevent the skin from ventilating and will allow rashes to form on the skin as it will trap moisture in the skin.

Make sure that the covers and sheets you use in your baby's car and bed are made of 100% cotton.

Take care not to leave your baby in your parked car or in warm rooms when you will be outside.

It is also necessary to pay attention to summer nights. Even when the sun has set, the sweltering heat can make your baby restless as the humidity does not decrease. Studies have shown that babies sleep for a long time in warm environments. Since it is observed that the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome increases in very hot temperatures, cooling the environment with the controlled use of air conditioning or ventilator is extremely important for his health.

By taking a bath frequently, you will both reduce the risk of heat rash and provide relief. Whenever possible, it is useful to ensure that he spends time without being tied down.
