In short, carrying our baby is one of the most pleasant and unforgettable experiences, but in the summer we must follow some recommendations to avoid excessive heat or exposure to the sun’s rays of our little one, or excessive sweating and we can get great benefits to carry in summer.

Among the benefits of summer babycarrier we can mention the following:

1. Regulates the temperature: Your baby will be cooler with you, even though you may think otherwise, and is that babies can increase their temperature 3 to 5 times faster than an adult because they do not regulate their body temperature well. That is why when your baby is being carried by you, he/she is in direct contact with you and that way the temperature of both of you is automatically thermoregulated.
2. Allows you to safely monitor your baby: Since you can watch him constantly, you can be aware of his hydration, that he does not suffocate, that his airways are clear, that he is protected from the sun’s rays, among other things.
3. Acquires Vitamin D: Carrying the baby in summer and exposing the baby to the sun in a prudent way and at certain hours, the baby can acquire Vitamin D, which is important for the development of his bones.
4. They help the regulation of the defensive system.
5. Strengthens the mother-child bond.
