Keeping your baby cool during summer is quite hard work and a headache too. Whilst the thermometer is rising, there are a few different things that can help you keep your little baby cool all day long.
Lightweight fitted swaddle
Use of a lightweight swaddle between 0.2-0.5 tog is best for day naps and even for overnight in a warm house. The purple swaddle-to-sleep bag is one of the best ones you can have as it is quite light and the mesh panels for breathability can be used as a swaddle or as a sleeping bag for newborns till 4 months of age. Apart from these, you can also go for an Embe saddle that enables you to leave your baby’s legs out and help them keep cooler the whole night.

It is quite user-friendly for a newborn as you can take it while traveling from one place to another and would be helpful to make them fall asleep easily in your room, the lounge or even in the car. If you charge it fully then it can run for at least 13 hours a day.
Use muslin
One of the coolest fabrics used for summer which is highly breathable and lightweight. This can be used for making a great DIY swaddle for babies to survive extreme hot weather. These are also great ones for shading a baby when out in the sun. The little unicorn muslin swaddle is best as it is super soft and comes in gorgeous patterns, perfect for this summer.
