With another spell of hot weather underway, the UK Health Security Agency have shared some guidance around keeping your little one cool, comfortable, and ready for sleep.
🔹 During the day, close windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
🔹 At night, keep air flowing through open doors and windows (if it's safe to do so)
🔹 Use electric fans if the air temperature is below 35 degrees Celsius, but do not aim the fan directly at your baby as this can lead to dehydration
🔹 Remove any excess clothing and check on them regularly to make sure they are not overheating
🔹 Sleeping in just a nappy is fine
🔹 If another safe room is cooler, temporarily move their sleep set-up to there
