10 tips to help your baby sleep in a heatwave Run a refreshing bath Although there's nothing like a long hot soak, a lukewarm or slightly cooler than normal bath will refresh your baby before bedtime and relieve any daytime clamminess which can cause irritation and itching in the night. Use cotton bed sheets Cotton bed sheets are the best in hot weather. Avoid waterproof mattress coverings as they hold onto the heat and make your baby sweat more.SHOP NOW Close curtains and shades Although it might seem counterintuitive, shutting the blinds on a hot day is the best way to prevent your home from heating up. UV can travel through glass too, so always make sure your baby is topped up with SPF during the warmer months.
Invest in a cooling fan Babies generally like the gentle rhythmic noise of a fan – as well as the cooling air it gives out so make sure your baby has a fan pointed at them. A good idea is to place a large bowl of ice or some frozen water bottles in front of it to cool the air that circulates around the room.
