When travelling with your baby to a hot and humid destination there are a few things you can do to keep yourself and bub comfortable
- Choose the right baby carrier material. We chose Ergobaby Performance for its lightweight and wicking performance fabric which allows good ventulation
- Dress your child appropriately. Count the carrier as a layer of clothing (almost like a light jacket). Do not overheat your bub. Forexample use a thin singlet (we love Uniqlo airism mesh tanks) combined with cotton shorts
- For Mum/Dad, cotton shirt is best. Avoid skin to skin contact as this will cause you both to sweat like crazy and get too sticky
- Use umbrella. Your carrier may come with rain/sun cover but we found it to cause Berlin to sweat much more.
- Take breaks – unclasp your child and give you both some fresh air to cool off
- Use sunscreen and mosquito repellant
- Stay hydrated
