Welcome to June, where the sun is hot, the snacks are melty, and your baby is somehow still wearing socks in 30°C weather because they refuse to let you take them off. Iconic. 

Whether you’re a first-time parent or a seasoned pro, this summer is shaping up to be one for the baby books. Here’s your quick-hit guide to thriving (or at least surviving) this sun-soaked season with your little one: 

Hot Girl Summer? More Like Hot Milk Summer 

Forget SPF 30—June is about SPF everything, extra water bottles, and finding the one shady spot at the park. If you’re sweating through your baby carrier, just know: you’re not alone. We’re all out here with ponytails up, iced coffee half-spilled, and a diaper bag that mysteriously weighs 12 pounds. 

Summer Pro Tip: Keep a small pouch in your stroller with the essentials—sunscreen stick, a mini fan, baby wipes (aka the real MVPs), and a backup onesie for both of you.

Baby’s First Beach Day: A Comedy 

You thought it would be cute. You pictured a sunhat, tiny toes in the sand, and maybe one of those Pinterest-worthy beach pics. What you got instead? A meltdown over a seagull, sand in all the rolls, and a diaper so full it could legally qualify as a flotation device. 

Pro tip: Keep expectations low and snacks (for you) high. 

The Summer Essentials You Didn’t Know You’d Swear By Forget fancy diaper bags. Here’s what’s actually saving summer 2025: 

• Portable fan that clips to the stroller: Because your baby’s sweatier than a pop star in a reunion tour. 
• Muslin everything: Light, breathable, and somehow always in a ball at the bottom of the diaper bag. 
• Baby wipes: For sticky hands, messy ice cream, and… you, post-sunscreen meltdown. 
• Diaper cream: Not just for baby. Chub rub? Solved. Thank us later. 

Your Baby Is Living Their Rom-Com Era 

Think about it: long walks, surprise meet-cutes with every neighbor who wants to say “hi,” and soft serve melting down their tiny chin. They’re main-character-ing through summer, and you’re their trusty sidekick carrying 14 bags, a water bottle, and their emotional support pacifier. 

Hot Days, Hotter Tantrums 

You’re sweating. The baby’s sweating. The stroller’s melting into the pavement. And guess what? Your baby picked today to boycott naps. It’s giving “survivor mode but make it cute.” 

Keep cool with: 

• Frozen fruit teethers 
• A baby pool on your front lawn (your neighbors are secretly jealous)
• Letting your baby chew on an ice cube while you cry softly into your iced coffee 

Summer = Baby Laundry Olympics 

You washed everything. Then the baby ate a strawberry, rolled in sand, and spit up all within 45 seconds. You blinked—and now there’s a whole new load. 

Pro tip: don’t fold. Just make a “clean-ish” pile and move on. 

Final Thought 

Summer with a baby might not look like the slow, dreamy moments you see on Instagram—but in between the diaper blowouts, snack negotiations, and stroller naps, something beautiful is happening. You’re building memories, one sticky, sun-soaked, giggle-filled day at a time. The

days feel long (so long), but these seasons are short. So breathe it in—even the chaos—and know that you’re doing an amazing job. 

Here’s to the sweet, sweaty, silly magic of summer. You and your tiny sidekick are making it unforgettable.
