I hope some of the heat/humidity will have tapered off by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-215244 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:29:54 +0000 Sammyfab 215244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in Ontario and when we got back from vacation last week from BC our house was 85. We hung out in the basement until it cooled down.</p> <p>Re: the carseat, we go from an air-conditioned car to an air-conditioned store or the mall. I wouldn't keep him out in this kind of heat...it's way too hot for me let alone my poor sweaty baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-215217 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:04:00 +0000 Freckles 215217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I think i will end up putting her in the basement for her afternoon naps since it is supposed to climb up to the 90s this week. We're in Alberta, so it only gets this hot a couple of weeks out of the year. If i were in NY (or the east coast) i would definitely have A/C!</p> <p>How do you guys deal with infant car seats then? We took her out of the air conditioned car for maybe 20 minutes, and she was crying up a storm. When i took her out of the seat, i realized she was drenched in sweat. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-215001 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:06:40 +0000 sandy 215001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the Seattle area so it doesn't get very hot here that often and my house does not have a/c. We are finally getting some warm sunny days (80s for us) and I have been putting LO to bed with a fan in her room and it gets her room down to 79-80.</p> <p>If we had a basement that was cooler I would definitely consider putting her down there in her pack and play </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-214956 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:12:24 +0000 heffalump 214956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder how people do it! We just rented an apt. in NY for a week and it was crazy hot, but there was no air in their kids room. I hope their kids sleep in the playroom or with their parents when it's hot, which are the only air conditioned rooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-214949 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:02:56 +0000 Sammyfab 214949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! 90 degrees!</p> <p>My LO is a hot baby so his room is probably the coolest in the house. we have a/c and a fan going in his room. He is in the magic Sleepsuit right now with just a diaper. When he was swaddled we also put him in just a diaper.</p> <p>I worry about my LO overheating so if I were in your situation I would probably move him into the basement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beating-the-heat#post-214884 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 23:28:01 +0000 Freckles 214884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you without air conditioning, how do you get your LO to sleep comfortably? Do you put them in a different room or find ways to cool down their nursery?</p> <p>We live in a semi bungalow, and without the fan running, her room can climb up to 90 degrees! The fan makes it a little better but at 86 degrees, i am reluctant to let her sleep there, especially since i have to swaddle her. We have her in the guest room right now, but i am tempted to move her to the even cooler basement! </p>
