How Not To Let Your Baby Get Too Hot or Too Cold

October 4, 2014 By Cyndy Mundy Leave a Comment

Overheating can increase the risk of SIDS. Babies can overheat because of too much bedding or clothing, or because the room is too hot.

When you check your baby, make sure they’re not too hot. If your baby is sweating or their tummy feels hot to the touch, take off some of the bedding. Don’t worry if his hands or feet feel cool. This is normal.
It’s easier to adjust for the temperature by using lightweight blankets. Remember, a folded blanket counts as two blankets.
Babies don’t need hot rooms. Keep the room at a temperature that’s comfortable for you at night. About 18°C (65°F) is comfortable.
If it’s very warm, your baby may not need any bedclothes other than a sheet.
Even in winter, most babies who are unwell or feverish don’t need extra clothes.
Babies should never sleep with a hot-water bottle or electric blanket, next to a heater or fire, or in direct sunshine.
They lose excess heat through their heads, so make sure your baby’s head can’t be covered by bedclothes during sleep periods.

About Cyndy Mundy

Snazzy Baby evolved in 2003 when many years of research and development lead to the birth of Snazzy Baby Knee Pads, a project we embarked upon when our young son screamed and cried while being bathed, as his rug-burnt, red, tender and bruised knees hit the water. That first major developmental milestone had suddenly become a nightmare! The knee pads we went on to develop ensure babies all over the world are able to crawl properly.

Together with my medical background, I am truly passionate about developing products that are not only easy for parents to use and fulfil the right need, but are manufactured to the highest safety standards to keep our precious babies and toddlers safe.

Now, more than a decade later, Snazzy Baby is a wonderful brand that parents just like me, who have searched for easy to use, multi-functional products that are safe for our precious little ones, can trust in.

Snazzy Baby knee pads are wonderful! They comfortably protect a child’s knees, in addition, have small beads on the front to prevent slipping. Whether a child is just beginning to pull-to-stand or is already a seasoned crawler, you can’t go wrong with this product. Every pediatric physical therapist should have a pair in their bag of tricks!
