Breastfeeding tips for when it's so warm/humid

[mummy2maisie]

Anyone got any tips for keeping mum & baby cool when breastfeeding on warm/humid days?
I've found today so uncomfortable with us both been very warm and clamy.

A towel/sleet dipped in tepid water over yourself and baby.

Meant sheet!

I've been feeding DD laying on my bed, me on my side and her next to me so not much skin to skin to get clammy. It's too hot!

I have been taking my top off & draping a wet muslin round my neck. Ds plays with this when feeding.

Ds has spent the day in his nappy & a very thin pair of shorts (otherwise he removes the nappy, cheeky sod).

I have also been offering more feeds and loads of water in a beaker.

To keep the house cool I've put old sheets over the open windows and sprayed them with water.

I nearly got in the bath with him this evening. 35 degrees felt lovely & cool.

Very thin, cotton floaty tops for mum that can be lifted up or taken off to feed and just a nappy/vest for baby.

A fan with a cold, wet towel in front of it cools a room too.

I used to keep one of these with me in my change bag.

Can I tactfully (and without the slightest bit of envy) suggest a move to Scotland, its not been above 20 here for what feels like months and I'm every time I see the weather report, whilst hugging my cardigan closer . . .

Thanks everyone. I was past myself on Monday. And ds wouldn't settle without being nursed at bedtime.
Yesterday wasn't too bad but looking at the blue sky this morning I might be putting your ideas into practice today.
Cuddlysmurf I would love it in Scotland if it is that cool. I am not a great fan of hot weather.

I fed laying down with as little skin contact as possible (apart from the necessary, obviously!)
