"Naked Baby" - Am I a Bad Mommy?

You are not a bad mother for wanting your baby to be comfortable. As long as he is loaded up on sunblock, he will be fine. I will say though, that it is a common misconception that the less clothes, the cooler you will be. If you notice construction workers working out in the middle of the afternoon with longs pants and lonsleeve shirts, it is for good reason. The clothes(cotton, because it allows air in) absorb your sweat and become damp, which keeps you cooler and the benefit is you protect your skin from the sun. I found a little cloth hat and I get it a little damp before we go to the park and it really helps keep my baby cooler.

So long as he has sunblock on if he's outside for more than a few minutes I think you're fine. I could never let my son go without shorts because he started taking off his own diaper by 5 months old, but it's certainly ok.

I hope you're not considered a bad mommy for that! I let our son hang out completely naked at home while we were potty training and we lived in the mountains in Utah...and it was winter! Yes, he was warm, the heat was on and he didn't stay naked all the time.

Don't worry about it! Just make sure he doesn't get sunburned!

My baby boy is only in a diaper right now! He can get away with it now cuz he's a cute baby! Let him be comfortable!

I don't think so. I see lots of kiddos hanging out in their diapers. There are always going to be people that have something to say, but you're his mommy & it's your business! I wouldn't worry about it. :)

I sure hope no one said anything to you about that. GEES.... It is TEXAS....it is HOT.... He is a toddler. I see nothing wrong with it.

We are relaxed at my house and certainly don't get uptight about that. You hang in there and stay cool!
