How to make cuddles more comfortable in hot weather? Recommended baby

The average temperature is increasing year by year... Starting in spring, the number of days that feel hot increases, and as summer approaches, high temperatures that can be described as extremely hot become commonplace. Holding a baby under such conditions is difficult for both mom and dad. Let's introduce some points to use a baby carrier even in hot weather as stress-free as possible.

What are the dangers of cuddling on a hot day?

A good way to hold your baby is to keep mom, dad, and baby in close contact with each other. It provides more stability and allows your baby to relax with peace of mind.

However, as the temperature rises, the closeness of each other's body tends to make them hotter due to each other's body heat. Due to poor ventilation, heat builds up inside the baby carrier, and sweat increases humidity, making it stuffy.

Not only is this uncomfortable, but it also increases the risk of skin problems such as heat stroke and heat rash.

Avoid health problems, keep in mind the key points to use a baby carrier comfortably, and get through the hot months that seem to get longer every year.

What should I be careful about?

If your face turns red or your breathing becomes rapid, this is a sign that you are on the verge of heatstroke. Check on your baby from time to time and take immediate action if there are any abnormalities.

Remove him from the carrier and let his body cool down first. If possible, move to a cooler area and apply an ice pack to areas where large blood vessels run, such as the neck or armpits.
However, babies' skin is thin and sensitive to temperature changes, so be careful not to cool them too much. Also avoid places where the air conditioner will hit you directly.

Also, if you keep sweating, your skin may become soft and easily damaged, and you may develop sweat rashes. Avoid leaving your skin and clothes wet by wiping sweat or blowing air.
It's also good to have plenty of clothes and make sure to change them frequently. We also recommend placing a sweat-absorbing cloth such as gauze on your back and removing it to reduce the frequency of changing clothes.

What products are useful for cuddles on hot days?

Handy electric fans are becoming a must-have item for summer, and they come in handy when you're out with your baby. Just blowing air around your baby's face will help keep them cool, and blowing the air inside the baby carrier can help reduce the risk of heat stroke.

It is also a good idea to keep your baby cool with an ice pack. There are also baby carriers with pockets for storing ice packs. If not, wrap it in a towel or gauze and use it, being careful not to let it come into direct contact with your skin.

We also recommend using hats, parasols, capes, etc. to avoid direct sunlight. The ``sleeping hood'' that is included as an accessory with BABY&Me baby carriers not only supports the baby's wobbly head, but also serves as a sunshade, making it useful for dealing with the heat.

What baby carriers are recommended for hot weather?

During the hot season, many people prefer baby carriers made of materials such as mesh, which is smooth and doesn't get sticky, or cotton, which absorbs sweat.

It is also important to choose products that are easy to put on and take off. If you can quickly put it on and take it off, you can avoid getting stiff and sweaty when you pick it up or put it down, and you can easily put it down on the go, making it easier for mom and dad to separate their bodies and take a break.
The hip seat has a lower degree of contact than a baby carrier and can maintain a suitable distance between mom and dad, making it useful during hot weather.

BABY&Me's ergonomically designed hip seat carrier is a new type of baby carrier that takes advantage of the features of the hip seat. Since the baby is held in a position similar to sitting on a pedestal, it is possible to maintain an appropriate distance without squeezing the baby's body. Therefore, it is recommended because it is relatively hard to trap heat even when the temperature is high and can be used comfortably.

If it is still hot, please flip up the carrier part cover that covers your baby's body. This is the part that hits your baby's back when you hold them face-to-face. The bottom of the cover is made of mesh, so it is highly breathable and helps prevent heat and stuffiness.

It is also recommended to hide an ice pack between the mesh part and the cover. Wrapping the ice pack in gauze will prevent it from getting too cold.

Can the baby carrier be washed?

Baby carriers that are used in various situations every day tend to get dirty, especially during the seasons when you tend to sweat a lot.
Some products can be washed completely or parts can be removed, so it may be a good idea to choose a baby carrier based on ease of care. Quick-drying materials are convenient because they dry quickly after washing.

BABY&Me products are made with everyday waterproof fabric, so if there is a light stain, you can just wipe it off with a wet towel.
If you use the included belt cover or drool cover, you can prevent baby's drool from getting onto the main unit and prevent it from getting dirty. The various covers and sleeping hoods can be easily removed and washed, so you can always keep them clean and safe.

The main body can also be washed in a washing machine. Remove the inner material from the hip sheet, wash it, and dry it in the shade.
