Well it's going to be a very sweaty week ahead! 🌞
What are your top tips for staying cool when looking after your baby? We want to hear them!! Frozen muslin cloths can provide a refreshing back cooler or sticking your feet in a cold bowl of water/on a pet cooling mat through feeds.

Your baby may want to feed more often, and they are not the only one who will be feeling more thirsty, what is your favourite way to stay hydrated? You might find more night wakings again too, prepping yourself as cool a room as possible can help you both and keeping baby lightly dressed for comfort.

Exclusively breastfed babies under 6mths do not need extra water in hot weather, your breastmilk has all they need in it. If you are combination feeding offer more breastfeeds before anything else.
You can offer water with solids if they've started eating and high water content fruit and veg can help too.

HAPPY 100th Birthday David Attenborough

Teaching children about nature early fosters holistic development, boosting physical health, cognitive skills, and emotional well-being while cultivating the love for our environment early.
Regular interaction with the natural world increases curiosity, improves attention spans, reduces stress, and enhances social skills through imaginative, hands-on exploration.

If you have a little one who is inspired to explore and investigate nature.

Why not get out and about exploring together and taking with your little one about what nature they can see and hear. Talk together about the different homes and habitat's nature have and explore the differences together.

Go to your local library and lend books about nature and animals.

If you have pets at home let your children learn about how care for them supported by you.
