🌡Feeling hot, hot, hot! 🌡

With temperatures rising further across the UK this week, we thought another share of this handy graphic might be useful!

If you're breastfeeding your little one in this heat, remember:

☀️ In hot weather, your baby may want to feed more often or for longer than usual.
☀️ If they're under 6 months and exclusively breastfed, there's no need to give any additional water - just feed on demand to keep them hydrated and make sure you're getting plenty of fluids yourself.
☀️ Your body will generally continue producing enough milk for your baby's demand (except if you get extremely dehydrated), but keep on top of your water and ice lolly intake for your own wellbeing!
☀️ Babies over 6 months who have started eating solid foods should be offered water in a cup with meals, and throughout the day in hot weather.

More info on keeping your baby safe in the sun can be found here:

Everyone plays a unique role in supporting breastfeeding 👶

Why not offer to cook food for the family, or provide childcare for any older children? This helps parents to focus on becoming a family unit.

If you're returning to work after maternity leave, you might wonder whether you can continue breastfeeding your baby. It's completely possible and many women do it.

Here are some tips for breastfeeding and going back to work.

Breastfeeding in public may make you feel nervous, but you have a legal right to breastfeed anytime and anywhere. No-one can ask you to leave a public place while you're breastfeeding.

What have your experiences been like? 👶
