​Lighter clothing in terms of thickness: Wearing clothes with very light thickness is a good way of ensuring that you and your baby are well ventilated while babywearing in the summer. Short sleeve or sleeve tops or dresses will ensure a good air flow too

​Gather your wrap panels! Tying your wrap in a gathered way ensures that you’re not too swaddled and your baby is still well supported.

Minimal layering: Wearing less layers under your wrap is also a great way of ensuring that you and your baby remain cool throughout the warm season

​Good hydration: As you and baby are likely to lose more body fluids like sweat more, it is good practice to ensure that you drink adequate water and baby is well hydrated as well

​Sun cream or another skin protection you’d normally use

​Sun hat/head support: As well as the option of gently tucking baby’s head under the right or left panel, you can opt for a little sun hat for your little one to give additional sun protection. Mum/Dad shouldn’t be left out as well, rock that sun hat too! You can also support your little one's head by ensuring that your wrap's upper selvage reaches the nape of your little one's neck.
