Can baby go out into the world in just a diaper on a hot day? (lemmy.world)

What are your thoughts? It’s hot outside. Baby is gonna be shaded in the stroller or in the car. Is it okay for baby to just be in a diaper?

I'd still put them in a light onesie. They're pretty small and they don't have much thermal mass, so they may get cold despite the weather. Keeping them in shade like you're suggesting is a good idea.

And like others have said, have lots of formula/milk for them to drink.

If they're having a bad time they'll probably let you know, so be ready to head indoors if they get cranky.

Thanks. It’s so funny to me that they drink warm milk all the time even during hot weather. Do you ever give cold milk during hot weather?

Our kids just drank formula. When it was from powder, it was warmed. I'm pretty sure we gave them premixed stuff too - that would have been cold.

For sure. Warm milk or formula on a hot day sounds so bad haha
