I will be moving to Qatar in July. I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. What is the recommended dress for them? Should i keep their knees and shoulders covered????

Choose kids clothes made from natural fibers, rather than manmade materials.

This is because manmade fibers don't breathe as well as natural fibers and can be uncomfortably warm.

Keep the kids's skin covered as much as possible because the skin's sun protection system isn't entirely developed yet; this can cause the skin to burn more easily in kids.

Long pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks, and brimmed hats to avoid sunburn and sun glare are the best outfits for hot conditions.

Chemical-free sunscreen ointments or lotions can be applied to the kids's body, particularly on the arms and legs, where the sun's rays will probably directly hit.

They can wear anything tht look cute on them but in this hot weather babies under 1 year old need to get as much sun protection as possible frm their clothing.

We've been living on a tropical island for years and they have tons of cool summer clothing. But I was worried someone may be offended by that. Thanks so much.

Cool cotton clothing is a must but it can also get chilly with the AC on so maybe cotton tshirts under their normal clothes.

May your dreams take you travelling all through your life.

Dress them as you would normally.Obviously they will need clothing to protect them from the sun so I would advise covering their shoulders.

May your dreams take you travelling all through your life.
