Saunas and b feeding

Is it ok to have a sauna when breast feeding? Will it confuse my body into thinking its hotter than it really is and therefore produce a different make up of milk to compensate for the increase??

I have never heard of this being a problem - I think the thing about breastmilk changing in excessively high temps is a Big Myth anyway. I am not aware of any good evidence that this happens, either. If anyone knows different, let me know

Even if it is true, it's not going to harm the milk or your baby

never noticed any difference. Had plenty of saunas during breastfeeding.
Just keep up your fluid intake, and I'm sure you'll be fine.
