Keep baby cool and comfy
?
(HealthDay News) -- Heat rash is a bumpy red rash that occurs during hot and humid weather when baby's sweat glands become blocked.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to help prevent heat rash:
Make sure baby wears cotton clothes that are light and cool.
If you don't have air conditioning, run a fan in baby's room. But don't aim the fan directly at baby.
Don't use baby powder for this purpose, since it does nothing to prevent heat rash.
Similarly, don't coat baby's skin in a cream or ointment.
