[quote=Anonymous]I worried *much* more about over-heating or smothering my July baby than the cold. He would scream in the stroller, so I could only get him out in the baby bjorn in the DC heat. I have vivid memories of the day I had run inside and hold him in front of the A/C after he got overheated on a walk. Later when he was 2 he had a febrile seizure possibly aggravated by going outside in the heat. Conversely I never found it hard to keep him warm enough even in the coldest winter . Babywearing or stroller blanket, hat, done. I even had him out during the polar vortex with a blanket on the stroller. Keeping a baby warm is not hard, and you'd have to be truly negligent to give your baby hypothermia. But overheating is scary easy, especially at the height of summer. [/quote]
