Hot

How were your babies last night in the heat?

My LG woke up every 1/2, just wanted to sleep on me, she didn’t sleep much yesterday or today and now she has now just crashed. I’m hoping she will sleep tonight well

My little one was absolutely the same. He has done only 2 naps of 30m each the whole day! I hoping he will sleep better tonight. Good lucky for us!

I’m glad I’m not the only 1, ours are close in age aren’t they? She had been awake for a little while now, we have been interacting, gonna give her a bath and bottle and hopefully she will sleep well.

Mine is a bit older, 6 months, he was never a great sleeper anyway, but this last two nights were worse. I've already put him to bed. Took me almost an hour from awake to cot, but he seems to be in a deep sleep now. Finger crossed. X

Yeah, thinking back to last year and that hot summer, my son spent a lot of it sleeping on me. I only dressed him in a vest and covered in a thin blanket. The baby is probably thirsty as it's so hot and they do need more fluids in the heat (breast milk will adapt to this, otherwise you can give a formula/combi fed baby cooled boiled water).

Good luck. Hope you have a better night!

I’ve upped her to 7ozs now but in this heat, she doesn’t finish it all. I suppose it’s the same as us, we don’t feel like eating when it’s hot. Today she had drunk it all and slept on and off but at different times to usual. She is in a vest and 1 tog sleeping bag, as that’s what she’s used too, so I’m hoping tonight is better x
