Tips For Keeping Your Little Girl Convenient  and Healthy During Summer

PIN FOR LATER

Keeping your baby safe, happy, and healthy is a 24/7 job. But during the summer, when the temperatures are high and everywhere feels warm, it takes extra effort to ensure your baby is safe and comfortable.

From the type of dress to the baby products, you want to be more intentional about your choices this time. Summer can get really sweaty and difficult on kids, so make sure to keep them well protected and hydrated round the clock. If you’re wondering what to do to keep your little sunshine smiling throughout the summer, here are our simple tips.

1. Get the right dresses

On cold days, stacking up layers of clothing (or a piece of thick clothing) is the norm to ward off the cold and keep your angel warm. However, summer comes with warm (or hot) air that can make even adults spend the whole day in shorts. So even when your kid doesn’t say how they feel, you should know that breathable and well-ventilated clothes are the only healthy dress options for now.

Excess exposure to heat or sunshine in summer increases a child’s risk of having Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), so keep them only in a cool environment and properly dressed in case you need to go outdoors (and avoid peak hours). Consider equipping the wardrobe baby girl rompers, overalls, playsuits, tops and shirts, and so on for your little princess.

2. Use Baby Powder

No matter how much you try, your child can’t help but sweat at times. For instance, when you need to get a few things outdoors, and your baby has to come with you. To ensure that those sweat beads forming your girl’s body do not impact her skin, regularly apply a baby-friendly powder on her body.

The powder helps to absorb the sweat and reduce skin-to-skin friction, thereby preventing rashes and keeping your baby’s skin smooth and fresh. Make sure to use talc-free powder and verify that the powder doesn’t cause skin irritation or any other issues.

3. Baby Lotion

During summer, the skin tends to dry out and look scaly more frequently, making your damsel feel uncomfortable. It’s essential to keep her body moisturized and appealing with a good body lotion throughout the summer. The lotion helps prevent nutrients from leaking out of her skin while giving her a supple, bouncy look.

Keep in mind that proper skincare forms a significant part of your child’s overall health; thus, it’s crucial to keep the skin in its best shape.

4. Regular bathing

You never can tell how much harm the warm weather can cause your kid. It’s better to stay equipped to the teeth than feel sorry when an unpleasant situation occurs. Due to this, regular sponge bathing a few times daily should become a habit. This, however, doesn’t mean bathing your baby every hour. A minimum of four times every day is sufficient to keep her comfortable and happy throughout the day.

Finally, consider switching to cloth diapers, performing oil massage regularly, and using baby wash and shampoo to keep your little sunshine looking healthy and happy all through the summer.
