Ensure sufficient sleep, no less than 9-10 hours per day. Do not use an electric fan to induce sleep, as it can prevent wind and cold, and trigger a cold.

Reasons why babies are afraid of heat
Many babies are afraid of heat because they are growing rapidly and have a high metabolism. Generally speaking, the mother will dress the baby according to the amount of clothes they wear. Sweating is also a normal phenomenon for babies. If there is sweat, use a towel to dry it off, as long as you are careful not to catch a cold. Of course, if the clothes are wet, you must change them, or use a towel to separate the baby's sleep. Be sure to ventilate, otherwise the baby may feel uncomfortable and the condition may worsen. Infants have relatively vigorous metabolism compared to adults, poor temperature regulation ability, and weak self heat dissipation ability. Infants with physical weakness are also prone to this situation.
The hot summer temperature environment is a major challenge for babies who are afraid of heat. When a baby cries, parents need to pay attention to whether the high temperature is causing discomfort in the baby, so that the crying does not stop. They should consider cooling down in time, regulating the baby's emotions, and eradicating diseases such as heat rash.
