Babies and young children need special care during hot weather because they are less able to cope with changes in temperature:

Never leave babies or young children in cars.
Offer additional breast- or bottle-feeding to babies during hot weather and encourage children to drink regularly. The Australian Breastfeeding Association has more information about breastfeeding and hot weather.
During hot weather, dress babies and children in light, loose-fitting clothing.
Babies in strollers can be kept cool by covering the stroller with a moist muslin/cotton cloth, preferably with a battery-operated clip-on fan if available. Keep the covering wet with a spray bottle.
