Is your newborn having a hard time in the summer with the heat? If you feel that he is uncomfortable and you don't know how to cool him down, this tip with a muslin swaddle will be VERY useful. It is very easy to put into practice and will instantly relieve your baby.
Newborn in summer
Simply wet a muslin cloth with lukewarm-cold water, then squeeze it with your hands to remove excess water and gently place it over your baby . You can wrap him or her, put it on his or her back, head, tummy or behind his or her neck, which are areas where they tend to feel the heat.
Why muslin?
Muslin is a noble and soft material that, even when wet, feels light and pleasant on your baby's skin. Its fabric is made from an open weave of twisted threads, which makes it particularly light, perfect for this method.
Precautions
- It is very important to do this technique only when they are awake and always with supervision.
- In babies between 0 and 1 month old, who still have difficulty regulating their temperature, their body temperature must be monitored to prevent them from getting cold.
Relief when carrying or holding your baby
Another way a muslin wrap can be very useful is to hold or carry a baby without getting too hot (for you or your baby). Just put the (dry) wrap between your body and your baby's, this way you will prevent him from sweating from the heat you give him or vice versa.
