Summer time with baby: tips for a carefree time

The first summer with a baby is particularly exciting for parents. But at high temperatures and intensive sunlight, there are some things to consider to protect the baby's health. Here are five helpful tips for a carefree and relaxed time in summer:

1. Liquid supply:

Babies have a higher fluid requirement, especially in warm weather. Parents should make sure that the baby regularly has the opportunity to drink. Even if breastfed babies do not normally need additional liquid, it can make sense to offer additional water or unsweetened tea in high heat. Frozen melon or water ice can also be refreshing.

2. Proper clothing:

The sensitive skin of babies should be protected from intensive sunlight. Light and breathable clothing made of natural materials such as cotton and linen is best suited. Socks and hats with neck protection should also be worn.

3. Adjust the sleeping environment:

In summer it is important to adapt the baby's sleeping environment to the higher temperatures. A summer sleeping bag and a short cotton body can help to avoid overheating. Drafts by fans or air conditioning should be avoided.

4. Sun protection:

The sensitive skin of babies is particularly susceptible to sunburn. Direct sunlight should be avoided and thin clothing should be used as protection instead. A special children's sunscreen with a high sun protection factor can be used for children from one year.

5. On the way in summer:

When parents are traveling with the baby, they should pay attention to an adequate coverage of the stroller to protect the baby from UV radiation. In addition, unnecessary car journeys should be avoided at high temperatures, since the interior can quickly heat up to dangerous temperatures.

With these tips, parents can enjoy the summer with their baby and make sure that the well -being and health of the baby are always in the foreground.
