Midwives are warning parents against allowing babies to sleep in just diapers during hot weather. This practice can lead to overheating and potential health risks for infants. Experts emphasize that babies are vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and require appropriate clothing for regulation. Checking a baby’s temperature on the back of the neck is not a reliable indicator of overheating. Parents should dress babies in lightweight, breathable clothing and ensure adequate hydration. Ideally, rooms should be kept cool, and babies monitored closely for signs of discomfort, such as flushed skin or rapid breathing.
