When It's Safe
1. Warm Weather: Ensure the weather is warm, as cold rain might make the baby uncomfortable or lead to hypothermia.
2. Light Rain: Gentle rain is better; avoid heavy downpours or storms.
3. Short Duration: Limit the time spent in the rain to a few minutes to avoid overexposure.
Precautions
1. Avoid Contaminated Water: Ensure the rainwater is clean and not mixing with dirt or pollutants.
2. Protect the Head: If the baby is very young, you might want to cover their head with a soft cap.
3. Monitor for Illness: Babies are more prone to catching a cold or other infections if they get too cold or wet.
4. Dry and Warm Up Immediately: After the rain bath, dry the baby thoroughly with a soft towel and dress them in warm, dry clothes.
When to Avoid
During cold weather or if the baby is unwell.
If the baby has skin conditions or allergies that might react to rainwater.
In areas with acid rain or polluted environments.
