How to Dress Your Baby in Summer Without Overheating

Summer is here and keeping your baby cool and comfortable is more important than ever. Babies are sensitive to heat, and the right clothing can prevent overheating while keeping them stylish and happy. Here’s a parent-friendly guide to dressing your little one during the hot months.

1. Choose Breathable Fabrics
Lightweight, natural fabrics like cotton or muslin are ideal. They let air circulate and absorb sweat, keeping your baby cool throughout the day.

2. Dress in Light Colors
Opt for whites, pastels, or soft shades. Lighter colors reflect sunlight and heat, helping your baby stay comfortable.

3. Keep It Simple
Less clothing is often better. A soft onesie, romper, or light cotton shirt with a diaper is usually enough indoors.

4. Protect from the Sun Outdoors
Use light long-sleeved clothes, a wide-brimmed hat, and baby-safe sunscreen to shield your baby’s sensitive skin from direct sunlight.

5. Avoid Over-Layering
Extra layers trap heat. Stick to a single layer unless you’re in an air-conditioned environment.

6. Monitor Baby’s Temperature
Check your baby’s chest or back to see if they’re warm. Hands and feet may feel cool even when the baby is comfortable.

7. Nighttime Dressing
Use a light cotton onesie or sleep sack at night. Avoid heavy blankets; a thin cotton cover is usually sufficient.

8. Keep Baby Hydrated
Breastfeed more frequently or give small sips of water to older babies to prevent dehydration.
