Hats and gloves
Babies who are still breathing are still unresponsive, so they need to wear a baby hat, and also wear baby gloves to avoid getting cold.

Then, if your child wears multi-layered clothes, you will be able to easily remove them if they feel hot or wear more clothes if they are cold.
Protect children from sunlight
Because your baby’s skin is very sensitive, if your baby is exposed to too much sun, his skin will easily burn. Whenever putting children outdoors, remember to apply sunscreen to children about 15 minutes before. Pay special attention to exposed skin such as the face, scalp, neck, arms, legs and ears when applying sunscreen.
