7 Tips for Keeping Cool and Safe This Summer

Summertime brings endless opportunities for outdoor play, family adventures, and cherished memories. However, as the temperatures rise, keeping your little ones comfortable and safe becomes a top priority. Here are seven practical tips to help you and your family beat the heat while staying cool and happy this summer.

1. Dress for Comfort
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo for your baby's wardrobe. Our Muslin Swaddles are perfect for keeping your little one cool, offering comfort and breathability with their soft and airy design.

2. Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key during hot weather. Encourage older kids to sip water frequently, and if you’re breastfeeding, you may find your baby nurses more often. For formula-fed babies, ensure they have plenty of feeds to stay hydrated and cool.

3. Create Shade on the Go
When outdoors, make use of portable shade like pram canopies or pop-up beach tents. Pair this with a lightweight muslin swaddle to provide extra breathable coverage. These versatile cloths are excellent for shielding your little one from the sun while keeping them cool.

4. Choose Cooling Accessories
For an eco-conscious cooling solution, dampen a muslin cloth with cool water and place it gently on your baby’s legs or arms. It’s a simple yet effective way to provide relief from the heat while staying sustainable.

5. Opt for Water Play
Turn hot afternoons into fun, refreshing memories with water-based activities. A paddling pool or splash mat is perfect for cooling off, and our Swim Nappies ensure your baby is comfortable and stylish while splashing about. These reusable nappies are practical, eco-friendly, and beautifully designed.

6. Adjust Sleeping Arrangements
A cool, comfortable sleeping environment is essential for restful naps and nights. Use lightweight, breathable bedding like our Bamboo Cotton Sheets, which help regulate temperature and ensure your baby sleeps soundly even on warm nights.

7. Know the Signs of Overheating
Babies and toddlers can’t always communicate discomfort, so stay alert for signs like flushed cheeks, damp hair, or fussiness. If your little one feels too warm, cool them gradually with tepid water or move them to a cooler environment.

With these simple yet effective tips, you can enjoy a fun and safe summer with your little ones. Summer is all about finding joy in the little moments—whether it’s a quiet afternoon in the shade or splashing in the garden. Take it slow, stay mindful, and savour every sunny memory.
