On a very hot, sunny day...

Does baby need cool water or anything besides breastmilk? Its just I can't imagine tucking into my body-temperature warm boob can be very cooling!

Not if they are under 6 months and not on solids, probably not even if they are over 6 months and on solids.

Your baby will feed accordingly and IIRC, your body temperature adjusts slightly to accommodate breastfeeding too.

Wow, it's magical! Haha, thanks so much for quick response. She's 8 weeks nearly.

You will probably find she just feeds a lot more frequently when it's hot.

She won't - you will though! :)

And remember: in England is not THAT hot.
Imagine moms with young babies in southern spain for example...it gets up to 40 there! I would say just dress her a bit lighter and put her where there is a slight (NOT DIRECT) breeze. As long as weather is less than 26degrees, should be completely fine.

Emily I am originally from Texas, so I KNOW heat! Last time I went home in the summer, my DS was 1 at the time. He came out in the worst heat rash. I felt awful! Wasn't breastfeeding him by then, though, so wasn't sure. Thanks for all replies.
