5 Tips to Prevent Heat Rash in Babies This Summer

As summer temperatures soar, heat rash—also known as prickly heat or miliaria—becomes a common concern for parents of babies and toddlers. These small, red, and often itchy bumps typically appear on the neck, chest, back, or diaper area. Caused by blocked sweat glands, heat rash can be uncomfortable but is generally harmless. Still, prevention is key.

Here’s how to identify heat rash, what causes it, and how to prevent it naturally using baby-safe products like Mumsy Natural Heat Rash Cleansing Lotion.

What Causes Heat Rash in Babies?

Heat rash occurs when sweat becomes trapped under the skin due to blocked sweat ducts. Since babies’ sweat glands are still developing, they are more susceptible to this type of skin irritation, especially in hot and humid environments.

5 Effective Tips to Prevent Heat Rash in Babies 

• 1. Dress Your Baby in Breathable Fabrics
  
  Opt for loose-fitting clothes made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. These materials allow for better airflow and reduce sweat accumulation.
• 2. Adjust Swaddling Practices
  
  Swaddle your baby loosely, or consider swaddling only the upper body. Ensure the swaddle is snug enough for safety but not overly tight.
• 3. Create Air Circulation Indoors
  
  Use ceiling fans or air conditioners to promote air movement in your baby’s room. This helps sweat evaporate more easily.
• 4. Avoid Synthetic Fabrics
  
  Steer clear of polyester or cotton-blend outfits that trap heat. These fabrics can worsen sweating and lead to blocked sweat ducts.
• 5. Keep Skin Clean with Mumsy Natural Heat Rash Cleansing Lotion
  
  Use Mumsy Natural Heat Rash Cleansing Lotion daily to gently clean sweat-prone areas and prevent irritation. Formulated specifically for babies, this lotion helps maintain a clean and calm skin barrier.
