The heat of the summer may make for a cool pool day, but it doesn’t add fun to your newborn’s not-so-restful nights… And when the kiddo is awake, mama is awake too. Along with the summer heat, those 9:45pm sunsets certainly aren’t making baby’s bedtime any easier. It’s the perfect season to invest in a few nursery upgrades to help your little love stay cool so they can drift off to dreamland. So before the stress can get to you, check out these easy ways to make your baby’s room a better summer slumber space.
