INFO:

Do you and your baby get hot & sweaty when breastfeeding on hot days? They’re often in just their nappies, especially when indoors, which can make for lots of slippery sweaty skin contact 😂 I remember the breastfeeding in the summer all too well - my daughter’s hair would be soaked with sweat after a feed! Placing a muslin between you & your baby separates your skin and body heat, allowing for a cooler and more comfortable feed. The muslin can be moved around to allow your baby’s hands to still touch your breast - feeding is a sensory experience so we don’t want to inhibit baby’s hands. Skin-to-skin contact has lots of incredible benefits, so in the summer you could try some skin contact cuddles outside in the shade, near a window or with an oscillating fan in the room so that the breeze cools you down. A muslin or thin blanket can go over baby if you’re concerned the breeze is making them cold.
