When the summer sun starts beating down, but you are due with a newborn, you may be wondering how to keep your newborn cool in summer. How do you keep your newborn cool in summer at the lake or at the pool? How to prevent your baby from overheating?

We love going to the pool, which is across the street from our house! But last summer with a 3 week old, I needed to be extra careful. Newborns can’t regulate their core temperatures as well as older kids and adults. Also, their skin is fresh and will burn easily.

Protecting your newborn from heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other heat-related injuries is very important. Here are the top tips and tricks for keeping your newborn cool in a smart way. Enjoy summer activities with a newborn but ensure the safety of your newest little one.
