How To Keep Your Baby Cool In Summer

When it comes to dressing your baby, layering is the way to go – whatever the season. Start with a baby bodysuit and layer up with lightweight materials to keep them comfortable. Long-sleeve baby tops and baggy trousers in breathable materials are great for summer.

It’s not just clothes that keep your baby cool on those warm summer days. Regulate your child’s temperature and help them stay refreshed by keeping their bottles cool with bottle insulators. You can also pick a reversible baby carrier made from lightweight materials.
