How else can I protect my baby from the heat?
How else can I protect my baby from the heat? Minimize the time spent outside with your infant during hot weather—get from A to B as quickly as possible. Babies should never be left in a stationary stroller in the sun (even if covered with a damp cloth) as this reduces air movement through the stroller and increases the speed at which it heats up. Any time infants or children are exposed to the heat, it's important to keep them well hydrated. Drinking water or breastfeeds should be offered frequently . Infants will need more fluids during hot weather. It's also important to regularly check infants for signs of heat illness. The most common are: being overly warm to touch hot, red and dry skin irritability looking generally unwell and/or lethargic. If your baby is showing signs of heat illness, find cool relief immediately and seek medical help.
