I’m due August 13 where I live it gets extremely hot(I know it gets hotter in other areas) I’m assuming it will get up to 112 max. Will it ever be too hot for me to baby wear? I have a money wrap and I’m getting a regular baby carrier but I just don’t want her to get too hot. Could it possibly keep her cool?

I live in Texas and I found it cooler to baby wear than to carry around a carseat but we also don't have that much humidity so it could be different.

I noticed with my son that he would get way hotter in a carrier than if i just wore him. I prefer to baby wear and will again with my lo when she gets here.

So obviously yes I will have a infant car seat(I just Iike them for the itty bitty babies since the seat comes out and you don’t have to bother a sleeping baby) I mean like I currently have a moby wrap from when I had my son and I’m going to have another baby carrier like the ergo baby carrier or a baby bjorn. That’s the kind of carrier I meant. Not the car seat carriers. I just wasn’t sure if either of those would make her too hot being against my body like that. I’m not trying to over heat her 😭

It shouldn't. I had an ergo baby one and it was way cooler to have her in that or my baby katan.

My first was born in July. The temp the day she was born it was 104°. The average temp that entire week was 105°.
I tried wearing her the next month and then again in September and it was just too hot.
Granted - she was over 9lbs at birth and only gained weight quickly, so maybe a smaller babe would have even easier to wear.

I’m not expecting her to be very big. 8lbs at most but then again, she could be 9 or 10 lbs lol. I’m just nervous that she’s gonna be too hot. The sun even hits my house just right that for 7 years my room turned into an oven no matter what we did. I had 5 fans in my room last summer before my mom bought me an air conditioner cause it was just too hot for my son to be in that room with it so hot like that. Ugh I thought I’d like having a summer baby 😭😂

@bubbys.mommy, don’t worry about a 10lb baby! Haha. Only 2% of US babies are born 10lbs +.
Base this weight off your first born. Medical findings show your second (unless induced or scheduled an early c-section.) are usually an average of 5-9oz more. So, not a super large difference in weight, just a tad larger typically.
I have a summer baby (like I said) and then a spring baby, and the spring baby has been SO much easier. Summer babies are difficult, lol.
Just try it out - maybe it will work for you.
Also remember not to try and over use your AC to bring your home temp down. The baby will adjust and learn to like the same home temp as you.

Sooo.. I tried a moby wrap with my son in Feb in SoCali a few years ago and I found the wrap too warm due to the thick fabric honestly. I am due August 9th and I bought two different Lillebaby wraps that are made of a lot lighter fabric and also an all seasons Lille that has mesh in hopes one of those three will work to carry my daughter. But I definitely will avoid going outside in really high temps because it just won’t be safe I feel and I would weather keep her home and in the a/c if possible when the temps spike.

@bubbys.mommy, totally get sometimes you have to brave it. I just obviously would say no on those really high temp days and pay extra close attention to how your newborn feels temp wise. :)

she would like get cranky if she was too warm right? Did your son get fussy if he was too hot?
🦎 Gecko Mom··
@bubbys.mommy, hmm. Depends on the child I think. My son did but I am not sure if he just hated how constricted he felt in the moby or if it was the hotness or what. He definitely prefers to be on the cool side. Even now he refuses to stay under blankets! But it is still something. I would constantly be checking for a newborn. How hot the baby’s skin feels or if she looks red. Maybe try to go outside in the evening or mornings to give your son park time when it is cooler if possible.

You could try wetting it down.
