Babies.. And really hot outside

[ravenb1111]

So Monday.. A bunch of us are suppose to take the kids to an amusment park around 4 for the water park. One of the kids is 8 months old but it's suppose to be 100 out! How do we keep the baby hydrated? We are thinking of not going because it's so hot, the only reason we are toying with the idea of still going is because we already paid for it.

100 degrees is way too hot for an 8 month old to be outside, especially for an extended period of time. At that age, they don't sweat the same way as adults, so it's much much easier for them to get overheated (and quickly).

Well this is what I told the mother but she still wants to go and I feel like I'm going to more paranoid then she is.

I actually saw a mother with a 6 month old baby out at a water park in the high 90's last Saturday. She had 3 other kids. Her apartment didn't have air conditioner and her older kids were going nuts so she proceeded to the park. She made sure to bring an umbrella to put the baby who was in the infant seat. She also had a spray bottle with fan and kept damp cloths on the baby. The whole time, she never left the baby side. The water park was very small and gated so the kids could not run out so technically it was a good spot for her.

I am not sure how I feel about this knowing she had 3 other kids to entertain. I only have ds so it is easier for me to choose different activities.

If we do go, he'd would clearly be under shade all the time or in water. The sun will be down around 8 I think? I'm just not sure if we want to risk it but then I see alot these people who take their kids to Disney and I'm like your not worried? Not to base of other parents but just saying

I think the water park is a good idea for this kind of weather. I highly doubt an 8 month old would enjoy it though.

They have a little baby area.. This kid loves him some water.. And Monday's are actually pretty dead after 5.. But I don't want anybody having heat strokes ya know
