Depends really, if he was fully clothed and snuggled under a blanket, the man would have a point.

If he was wearing very little and cool air was circulating freely, (which infortunately some hoods can prevent and I would have taken it off if he was in the shade, the hat too) it's unlikely he would have overheated in 26 degrees. So I would have told him to bog off.

:rotfl:nope that wouldn't have worked in Turkey - I'd have been told off for not having socks on baby, and a blanket under her in the pushchair, even in August!

From a health perspective, you've done everything right. There are some clear do's an dont's, but much left for parental decision in between. I personally believe that babies are much less fragile than many parents would consider. Babies adapt to their environment much better than we do.

In any case, that was 1 person. He might be deluded or just like to cause upset for all your know. I really wouldn't pay much attention to a stranger.

26 degrees and a breeze is lovely. There's a balance to be struck.

Some Scottish children are apparently being given vitamin D because of lack of sun.

Thanks for the quick replies!

FireFox - he has his sippy cup to hand at all times - and plays in the sea (which is thankfully cool!) which I thought would prevent him overheating.

Drinking stops you dehydrating if you are sweating or peeing a lot, it does not stop your body temperature getting too high.

Dehydration can affect the body's ability to regulate body temperature so drinking will help overall.
