POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month4 months agoA. Managing a baby during summer requires keeping them cool, hydrated, and protected from heat-related issues. Here are some essential tips:
1. Clothing: Dress your baby in lightweight, loose-fitting, cotton clothes. Avoid overdressing and remove extra layers if it’s hot. 2. Hydration: For babies under 6 months, continue exclusive breastfeeding or formula feeding—no need for extra water unless advised by a doctor. Babies above 6 months can have small sips of water, along with regular feeds. 3. Environment: Keep the baby in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated room. Use fans or AC (not directly on the baby) to maintain a comfortable temperature. Avoid going out during peak heat hours (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.). 4. Skin Care: Give a lukewarm sponge bath once or twice daily to keep the baby fresh. Apply a mild baby moisturizer to prevent dryness or prickly heat. Use cotton nappies/diapers and change frequently to prevent rashes. 5. Feeding and Diet (for babies over 6 months): Offer easily digestible foods like mashed fruits (banana, watermelon), curd, and rice water. Avoid heavy or oily foods. 6. Watch for Signs of Heat Illness: Excessive sweating, fussiness, red rashes, dry lips, less urination, or fever—consult a doctor if you notice any of these.
