Tuesday Giveaway: Be a genius, keep cool!
July 24, 2012 4:25 pm | by

I’m not sure about where you live, but here in St. Louis, it’s HOT. It has been for a while. It can sometimes be a challenge to keep yourself and your little ones comfortable and cool during a heat wave.


Many cloth diapering parents prefer to use natural fibers during the warm weather. Whether you like prefolds, organic cotton inserts, flats or all-in-ones with cotton we have lots of great options for you!

Each Cotton Babies prize pack this week will include a bumGenius Elemental cloth diaper and an “I’m a genius” cold cup. To enter, just tell us what is your favorite way to keep cool during these hot summer days. Additional entries are available in the widget below:

    Either stay in the AC or we like to put the hose on top of the slide and a tarp at the bottom and make a fun water slide in the back yard!

    Can’t do anything outside with a newborn in this St. Louis heat! If we want to go out we do it early before it get’s too hot but we mainly beat the heat by staying inside!

    We go to the pool, and do lots of activities at home with ice. One of my favorites are iceberg treasure hunts, which I make by freezing small toys in a bowl filled with water. I give the kids salt, warm water and various other tools to dig them out with.

    We stay cool by drinking a LOT of water and taking breaks to come inside and “chill”. We do tummy time on the floor in front of a fan. Papa and baby get to take their shirts off….lucky boys!

    Hmm- hot summer days I’ve heard of them but in Alaska they’re few and far between. 🙂 But on vacation we resort to using the A/C!

    I keep my little guy cool by letting him run around in just his Bumgenius 4.0 and a t-shirt and playing in the sprinkler in the back yard.
