Don't leave your baby in just a nappy when it's hot

On hotter days, it's natural to think that the less clothing a baby wears, the better. However, this idea isn't always the most appropriate.

While it might seem cooler to leave your baby in just a nappy, a light cotton layer can be a much more comfortable option for their skin.

Why is it not advisable to leave your baby in just a nappy?

A newborn's skin is very thin and sensitive. When they are only in a nappy, it is completely exposed to the environment.

A light cotton bodysuit helps to:

• Absorb perspiration.
• Protect the skin from direct contact with surfaces, car seats, or strollers.
• Reduce irritation caused by sweat.
• Maintain a more stable body temperature.

Cotton is a natural, breathable, and comfortable fibre, allowing the baby's body to eliminate excess heat more effectively.

So won't the baby feel hotter with a bodysuit?

Not necessarily.

The important thing isn't to wear too many layers, but to choose the right fabric.

A thin, 100% cotton bodysuit still allows air circulation and helps to absorb moisture, preventing sweat from remaining in contact with the skin for too long.

What kind of bodysuit should you choose?

On hot days, opt for:

• Sleeveless or short-sleeved bodysuits.
• Light knit in 100% cotton.
• Comfortable clothing that doesn't constrict the body.

These options offer protection without compromising comfort.

What about when it's very hot?

Always observe your baby.

If the nape of their neck is very warm or damp, it may be necessary to remove a layer of clothing or find a cooler spot.

Each baby reacts differently to ambient temperature. The most important thing is to adapt the clothing to the climate and the baby's comfort, avoiding both excess and lack of protection.

Comfort begins with the first layer

In the first months of life, underwear plays a much more important role than we often imagine.

A quality bodysuit isn't just for dressing. It helps protect the skin, improves comfort throughout the day, and keeps the baby safe, even on the hottest days.

At Pim-Pam-Pum Baby, we develop baby clothes in 100% cotton, designed to provide comfort, softness, and freedom of movement from the first days of life. After all, the first layer is what's in direct contact with your baby's skin.
