What to do if your baby gets heat rash?
A baby’s skin is extremely delicate, so it’s not unusual to see small rashes from time to time, especially in warmer weather. But what can you do if you notice heat rash on your little one’s skin
Here are some tried and tested tips from experienced parents.
1. Skip the humidifier and air the room regularly
Air that is too warm and humid can increase sweating, which only makes heat rash worse.
It’s important to ventilate the nursery frequently, so fresh air flows in and the temperature stays comfortably steady.
2. Make sure your little one is not too warm
If baby is too hot, they can get sweaty easily, which may lead to more rashes. Keep an eye on the room temperature, and avoid too many layers, even at night.
3. Choose breathable, soft fabrics
Fabric matters in the fight against heat rash.
Pick high quality, breathable, natural materials for your baby’s clothes and pyjamas.

Raising children comes with plenty of costs, so it’s understandable that most parents look for reliable yet more affordable options. This is especially true for clothing, which growing children can outgrow in weeks.
Bamboo babywear is often a little pricier than traditional cotton pieces. It is worth knowing, though, that you get something genuinely special for the extra spend. Bamboo viscose is exceptionally soft and comfortable, with outstanding breathability. It is a good choice in winter and summer alike, as it helps regulate body temperature, so baby is less likely to get sweaty, even in warmer conditions. This also helps avoid baby eczema or heat rash.
Clothes made from bamboo viscose do not cling to damp skin, and they are an excellent option for sensitive skin, causing no irritation.
Some research also suggests that compared with materials like linen, cotton, silk or polyester, bamboo has greater antibacterial properties and can eliminate bacteria at rates as high as 99.8%.
