Can baby go out into the world in just a diaper on a hot day? (self.dadworld)

What are your thoughts? It’s hot outside. Baby is gonna be shaded in the stroller or in the car. Is it okay for baby to just be in a diaper?

How old is the little one? For the first year they are not supposed to be in direct sunlight without clothing. And as others have stated, sun block is your friend.

That said, our kids were numerous times just in their diaper their first summer without any issues. Just check regularly if they feel uncomfortable and put on clothes or a light blanket if they’re getting cold.

Thanks. I don’t plan on using sunscreen cuz they’re young and they’ll be shaded all the time. Glad other people are cool about being out with just a diaper when it’s hot.
