Selecting Summer Appropriate Baby Clothing
- You might want to use a size larger than they normally wear so air can move through their clothing.
- Fabric with a tight weave offers better protection against the sun and heat than loosely woven fabric.
2. Find light-colored clothing. Light-colored clothing will help make your baby feel cooler in the summer sun. This is because light colors do not retain heat as long as dark colors. Pastels and pale tones work best.
3. Use a lightweight baby carrier or sling. Baby slings can be very hot so choose one that is made from a lightweight fabric, like nylon instead of denim. There are also carriers that are designed to make your baby feel cooler, such as the ERGObaby carrier or the BabyBjorn Air.
