Hat safety for babies

The Lullaby Trust says that hats (and outdoor layers) should be removed when moving indoors or into a warm car, to prevent overheating (babies regulate temperature through their heads, and keeping them covered inside risks making them too hot).

They say to keeps rooms at around 18°C–21°C and use hats outdoors when it’s cold (below 15°C–16°C) to keep them warm. If a baby is crying intensely or sweating, he or she may be too hot. To check, feel their chest or back (rather than hands or feet, which often feel cooler).
