Summer is warm enough for us and keeping cool can be a challenge – so just think what it must be like for a baby! They can really struggle to keep cool in hot weather, so it’s important you choose appropriate outfits for them.

If you have a girl, you might want to dress her in floaty dresses to help keep cool. This will feel much nicer for your baby than putting trousers on, which can really raise the body temperature, especially if they are fitted leggings. Boys can wear shorts and dungarees, if possible, make sure they are baggy so it’s easy and comfortable for him to move around.

It’s great fun shopping for summer baby clothes, and a nice option for you to spend some quality time with your baby. They will probably have grown out of their new outfits by next year, so pick something that you love, but that is also cost effective.
