Keeping Baby Cool

Keeping Baby Cool

In my City we are having a HUGE heat wave, I Hate it! anyways my main concern is keeping my little guy cooled off since he can't tell me if he is to hot. I keep checking his skin if it feels warm, I have a damp cloth to wipe him down... he seems to like that, also if he is really hot I set the damp cloth on his head, Is there any other tips to keep him cool during this wave?

You need to remember, your baby is just as warm/cool as you are.  Whatever you do to cool you down will cool off your baby.  It can vary from truning on the air conditioner, sitting in from of a fan, or soaking in a tub of cool water.

A tub of cool water or even just playing with his hands in a big bowl with some cool water (you holding him carefully) can cool you both down a lot.
