Tips and tricks to keep your baby cool during summer time

It’s summer! Summer often brings us long days with high temperatures. The warm weather is lovely but makes it harder for your baby to fall asleep. In this blog, we provide you with the best tips and tricks to let your baby fall asleep more easily! Curious? Continue reading!

Breathable baby clothing

On warmer days, it can be quite difficult to decide how to dress your baby. Go for thin, breathable, absorbing materials such as cotton. Just a baby bodysuit can be enough. Depending on the temperature, you can choose a bodysuit with long or short sleeves. Do you have no idea how to dress your baby before going to sleep? Go for a breathable baby sleeping bag, made of hydrophilic cotton.

Cotton fitted baby sheet

Go for a fitted baby sheet made of hydrophilic cotton. Due to the open structure of the knitted cotton, a baby fitted sheet is very breathable and absorbent so perfect for spring and summer!

Breathable baby blanket

Do you want to tuck your baby with a blanket? Go for a breathable blanket made of hydrophilic cotton, preferably a blanket made of double-layered woven cotton. Woven cotton is very breathable and absorbing and stimulates heat regulation to prevent overheating of your baby.

Stay hydrated

Babies are more likely to become dehydrated. Make sure your baby is hydrated to prevent overheating. Do you breastfeed your baby? Make sure to nurse a little more often during the day.

Muslin swaddle

Do you want to go for a walk with your baby? Use a muslin swaddle to protect your baby from direct sunlight or other external stimuli. Make sure you do not cover the pram or Maxi Cosi completely to prevent overheating and stimulate the circulation of air.
