During the cold winter months, we often worry about our newborns catching colds and the sniffles, but summer’s heat can also compromise the health and well-being of your newborn. For starters, hot conditions can cause skin rashes, heatstroke and the potential danger of dehydration. Remember, your newborn’s body temperature control system is not yet adequately developed, and it’s easy for him to overheat. For this reason, never leave him in a hot room or parked car - not even for a few minutes - as this can cause your baby’s temperature to rise rapidly. How you keep your newborn cool and comfortable becomes vitally important.
