Caring for a newborn in the summer can be challenging due to the heat and high humidity, which increase the risk of infections. Here are key tips:

1. Temperature Control: Keep the room temperature between 28-30°C and avoid direct air conditioning. Use light clothing and adjust the temperature gradually when moving from air-conditioned to non-air-conditioned areas.
2. Clothing: Dress the baby in breathable, cotton clothing to manage sweating and discomfort.
3. Diapers: Minimize diaper use to reduce heat and potential rashes. Opt for breathable diapers if necessary.
4. Temperature Checks: Regularly monitor the baby’s body temperature and adjust the environment accordingly.
5. Sun Exposure: Limit outdoor time during peak sunlight hours and use protective gear like umbrellas or hats.
6. Bathing: Bathe the baby daily with warm water and use gentle, baby-safe products.
7. Sleep: Ensure the baby gets enough sleep in a cool, quiet environment.
8. Immunity: Boost the baby’s immunity with proper nutrition and vaccinations.
9. Mosquito Control: Protect the baby from mosquitoes with safe repellents and nets.
