How to Keep Your Baby Cool and Comfortable During UAE Summers

The UAE heat is no joke especially when you’re trying to keep a baby comfortable, calm, and happy in soaring temperatures.

As parents living in the UAE, we know how important it is to protect your baby from overheating, sun exposure, and skin discomfort during the long summer months. The good news? A few thoughtful choices in what your baby wears, eats, and uses can make all the difference.

Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your baby cool and comfy all summer long.

1. Dress Your Baby in Breathable Cotton

Lightweight, natural fabrics like 100% cotton are essential for summer. They allow airflow, reduce sweat, and are gentle on delicate skin.

Why it matters: Synthetic clothes can trap heat and cause rashes or irritation especially when humidity is high.

Tip: Look for loose-fitting rompers, sleepsuits, or short-sleeve onesies in soft pastel colours (they absorb less heat).

Sleeveless Bodysuits for daytime naps

2. Keep Them Hydrated with Sips and Snacks

Babies may not always show signs of thirst like adults, but hydration is crucial in hot weather. Depending on age, breast milk or formula will usually suffice, but you can also help older babies with:

Cooled boiled water (after 6 months)
Hydrating fruits like watermelon (pureed or mashed)
Cold snacks like yogurt or cucumber sticks (if age-appropriate)

Babies Basic Picks:

BPA-free Silicone Training Cups with soft straws
2-in-1 Snack + Sippy Cups (great for on-the-go hydration)

3. Avoid Midday Heat & Create Shade When Outdoors

The UAE sun is at its peak from 11am to 4pm. If you’re heading out with your baby:

Use a stroller with a UV-protective canopy
Add a clip-on fan to the stroller
Always pack a breathable muslin swaddle to create shade without overheating

Try short morning or late evening walks if possible.

4. Use Cooling Accessories Inside the House

Indoor temperatures can still get warm, even with AC on. Here are a few simple hacks:

Keep baby’s room between 20–22°C
Use cotton bedsheets and remove unnecessary blankets
Give lukewarm sponge baths in the afternoon

Extra Tip: A cooling mat or damp washcloth on the back of the neck can help bring down body temp quickly.

5. Say No to Sticky Mealtimes

Summers can make feeding extra messy. Heat, humidity, and sticky foods are a tough combo. Choose feeding sets that are:

Non-toxic and easy to clean
Stain-resistant
Cool to the touch

Babies Basic Picks:

Silicone Suction Bowls that stay put (no food flying on sweaty hands!)
Soft-Tip Spoons for teething babies

6. Don’t Forget a Sun Hat and Mittens

Even if you're heading from house to car, direct sun exposure can be too much for babies. A wide-brim hat and soft cotton mittens protect delicate skin without overheating your little one.

Babies Basic Pro Tip: Keep an extra pair in your diaper bag during summer errands!
