Dressing your baby for the weather
Though it is only June, here in South Carolina it feels like August. We have had several days of 100 degrees, so when it only gets to 80 something it feels cool.
When I was out shopping the other day I was surprised at the number of babies I saw who were not dressed for the weather. Newborns and very young babies cannot adapt easily to changes in temperature. While you want to dress baby in light weight cotton clothing for outdoors, remember to have a recieving blanket or something a bit warmer for when you go into a air conditioned building.
Also don't forget about using sunscreen to protect your baby's skin and a hat and sunglasses to protect the eyes. This is just one of the great styles of sunglasses designed just for little faces. All of our kids sunglasses are UV400.
Having some fun,

I totally agree about sunscreen and sunglasses being important for a baby. It is a fact that the sun damages your skin the most when you are young, so it makes the most sense to make sure that you protect your child from the elements!
Many people forget about sunglasses too. Besides protecting the eyes of a newborn, I think sunglasses on a baby looks so cute!
