How to keep babies and children cool at high temperatures

Babies and children may suffer hot weather because of dehydration, heat fatigue, and heat shock, or sunburn.

NHS has provided guidelines that show how to keep babies and small children safe.

Babies who are younger than six months should always be kept out of direct contact with the sun.

If they are older, they should keep clear of the sun as much as possible, especially between 11 o'clock in the morning and 1500 p.m.

The shadow should be made sure when children come out in the sun, for example by attaching an umbrella to a chariot.

You always have to apply sancream with at least SPF 15.

Children also have to wear a sun hat to protect their heads and necks from sunburn.
