So I now the summer is around the corner...but it is really hot in our h ouse at night time and my son has not been sleeping at all. Any advice on how to keep him cool at night time so he can get a good nights sleep?

How old is your son exactly? If it's because of the heat consider getting a fan or installing air condition. Also try wearing loose clothing especially made of cotton and keep the windows open for ventilation. Also if the room is stuffy this is a bad thing. Clean the room and make it really bare that there isnt the feeling of stuffiness. and get rid of thick curtains if that is what you have on the windows.

Get one of those fans you put in the window. They actually keep the room surprisingly cool despite how hot it might be outside. Also try stuff that normally would put him to sleep, like reading books, warm milk, etc. Good luck!

First dont dress him in big pajamas. a simple white onesie will do the trick. also there are window unit fans that you plug in and they will pull air in or suck the hot air out. they run about $27 at Walmart. just make sure it isnt pulling air directly onto the baby. And of course the more expensive is the window unit air conditioner (about $250) or central air for your house. (about $4000.00) depending on the size of your home

dress him in thin, cool (but not too cool) cloths and keep a fan running in the room (but do NOT point directly on him) Giving my son a bath before bed helps him sleep.
Never cover your baby with a sheet or blanket (like one of the other women suggested) it is unsafe, your baby could pull it over there face and suffocate.
