S1 | EP26 | Keeping Twins Cool In The Summer

The Collaboration Twins Podcast

Welcome to the Collaboration Twins Podcast with your hosts, Kelly and Rob! In this episode, we dive into the topic of keeping our twins, Ted and Erin, cool during hot summer days. We reminisce about the challenges we faced when they were newborns, born in the midst of a sweltering 40-degree heatwave, and share our tips and tricks for keeping them comfortable and regulated.

One of the most important aspects we discuss is hydration. With the heat at its peak, we made sure to keep our little ones well-hydrated. We highlight the significance of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, ensuring that they received enough fluids throughout the day. We also discovered the benefits of introducing small sips of water when they were old enough, always keeping an eye on their hydration levels.

Nighttime brought its own set of challenges. We learned about creating a cool and comfortable sleeping environment for our twins, experimenting with various fans and cooling techniques to maintain a pleasant temperature in their bedroom, ensuring they could sleep soundly.

Of course, staying indoors all day isn't always feasible, especially when the sun is shining bright. We discuss our experiences of taking the twins out for the day and how we kept them cool on these outings. We emphasise the importance of using sunscreen to protect their skin from harmful UV rays and the benefits of lightweight, breathable clothing to prevent overheating.

Stay tuned for valuable insights and practical advice that will make your twin parenting experience a breeze!
