feeding and the hot weather

[kerryinsussex]

Just wondered if any more experienced mums here could give me their opinion on something.
Dannielle normally takes a 6oz feed but during the last couple of days while we've had the hotter weather she doesnt seem to want this much. Today for example she had 3oz at 10.45am then another 3oz at 3pm. Again tonight she had 6oz but in two 3oz feeds couple of hours apart.

Do you think it could be because its been hot and she doesnt feel like a big feed?

Thanks for listening

Hi, yes my daughter has been the same I wouldnt worry I know that I dont feel like eating much in warm weather so maybe its the same for babies? I have found that giving my lo an oz of water every now and then on a warm ay really helps and she welcomes it. HTH x

im in turkey and its absolutely boiling weather and i have found that if the milk is warm then she doesnt want it as much, she'll have it but she doesnt seem as interested, so i leave it a bit colder than usual, then she loves it

If warming the bottles you could try room temp milk instead?

Try cooling her down with a hand fan before hand if shes HOT HOT on touching and give LO a little wipe with a dry flannel. I know I like doing that with a towel when Im hot.

Oliver takes less when its hot, we asked the MW and health visitor on Friday and they said it was fine and normal. Just it feed him as much as he wants. Hope this helps, take care XX
