Going on holiday to Spain (am I mad?) I still bf in the morning and evening so will baby need to have cooled boiled water that the recommend for ff babies when it's warm?

We got back from Spain 2 weeks ago and I like you my baby was getting 2 breastfeeds per day as well as formula. She also drank a lot of cooled boiled water. She's 11 months.

Thanks I'll make sure she gets plenty. Did baby cope alright in the heat?

Yes. I was really worried about her before we went but she was absolutely fine. She slept in just a nappy with a fan on all night and then when the humid weather left us she slept in a t-shirt with the fan on.

Daytimes were fine too so long as we kept her in the shade. I was amazed that she didn't get hot and bothered and cranky.

Fingers crossed the same will happen for me - you have put my mind at rest thanks :-)
