Beat the summer heat

Last week jillu suddenly developed fever and very unlike her wasn't active and kept falling down when she tried to walk
we just panicked and thought something major is wrong with my baby and thankfully my cousin who is a doctor was in town and she took just one look at jillu and said "Heat Wave"
"there is nothing wrong with her , she is just reacting to Chennai's summer and said it could be because jillu is used to Bangalore and is not equipped to handle the harsh summer here "

We were surprised to hear that she is getting dehydrated because we are giving her plenty of fluids, a tender coconut daily , a fruit juice daily and water after every meal and in between also .but i guess Chennai's heat is too much to handle and we have to do something extra

following are the steps we are following to battle the heat based on the tips given by my cousin
1.plenty of water
2. add little sugar and salt to any fruit juice she is drinking
3.solid intake might come down because of the increased fluid intake , its OK don't worry
4.wear only loose fitting cotton clothes
5. give bath twice a day in either cold or Luke warm water
6.give tender coconut once a day
7. during the day time as much as possible keep her in the AC room and limit exposure to direct sun
8.outside play time only during early mornings and evenings after the heat is down

she is much better now and back to her active self , but still we are keeping a watch on her as peak summer is still on

If you mommies out there have any other tips on battling the heat, do let me know
