Beat the Heat: 10 Must-Haves for Diaper Rash and Summer Baby Care
Summer is here, bringing joy and sunshine but also challenges when it comes to baby care. Babies need many things; warmer weather doesn’t make it any different. Here are 10 must-have items for diaper rash and baby care this summer.
- Wide Brimmed Hat
A wide-brimmed hat provides essential shade for your baby’s face, neck, and ears, protecting their delicate skin from harmful UV rays.
- Sun-Protective Stroller
Equip your stroller with a sun-protective cover to ensure your baby stays shaded and cool during your outdoor adventures.
- UV-Protected Sunglasses
Shield your baby’s eyes with UV-protected sunglasses to prevent sun damage and ensure comfort. Sunglasses should have 99 to 100 percent UVA and UVB protection.
- bébé Bottoms™ Diaper Rash Crème Spray
Don’t forget to pack bébé Bottoms™ Diaper Rash Crème Spray—your summer diaper must-have! With a hygienic, touch-free spray application, our Zinc Oxide + Organic Chamomile and Calendula formula works wonders for treating and preventing diaper rash. Whether you’re at the park or at home, it’s the easiest way to keep your baby’s skin nourished and irritation-free.
- Portable Changing Pad
A portable changing pad provides a clean and comfortable surface for diaper changes, making it a practical addition to your diaper bag.
- Removable Mesh Window Shields
Use removable mesh window shields in your car to block direct sunlight and reduce UV exposure without compromising visibility.
- Light-weight breathable clothing
Dress your baby in lightweight, breathable clothing made from 100% cotton. This will help them stay cool and comfortable while protecting their skin from the sun.
- Umbrella
While a stroller umbrella provides plenty of shade, a full-size umbrella for outdoor use offers an added layer of protection and peace of mind.
- A Cooler
Keeping your baby hydrated and fed is crucial to their well-being. Bring a cooler fit with an ice pack to keep your food and fluids cold all day.
- Sunscreen – If older than 6 months
For babies older than 6 months, choose a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and water resistance. Look for products containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide for adequate protection.
