For the week or two after Krysti was born everyone kept saying how hot it was and I wasn't uncomfortably hot like them... just made me aware how much hotter I had been as pregnant ]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:09:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108513&title=newborns-in-summer#108513 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108508&title=newborns-in-summer#108508 Author: Maya

I would have to say Bombshell that being pregnant in summer sucks more than a summer newborn - like Teresa said, you can peel a baby off you. I really feel for you preg ladies atm coz I haven't forgotten what it was like being preg with Maya...]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:05:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108508&title=newborns-in-summer#108508 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108504&title=newborns-in-summer#108504 Author: Rachael21

Jack was born the same time as Krysti last year and to be honest i can't remember a lot just feed on demand I used to just have jack in a singlet and nappy but he was wrapped for sleeps as well. We were lucky and had a really cool house (but freezing in the winter). Summer babies are great Jack never got sick.]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:01:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108504&title=newborns-in-summer#108504 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108378&title=newborns-in-summer#108378 Author: busymum

i have decided it is so much easier to keep babies warm when it is cold than it is to keep them cool when it is hot! poor jordis gets 4 seasons in one day down here, and her silly mummy never keeps up. thankfully it is nowhere near as hot as most of you are having, so cuddles and feeding in the heat isnt a problem. ]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:22:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108366&title=newborns-in-summer#108366 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108359&title=newborns-in-summer#108359 Author: Bombshell

Make sure you are drinking an absolute crap load of water too Isn't feeding in summer the worst? I remember feeling so sorry for Han that she had to snuggle up to a hot sweaty mummy when she was already hot and sweaty herself! ]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 09:23:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108201&title=newborns-in-summer#108201 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108185&title=newborns-in-summer#108185 Author: busymum

I am pleased to report that Krystiana slept very well after 11pm. Until then she was rather unsettled and wanted cuddling the whole time like Rhyley - ugh!

Rhyley been restless this afternoon, and tonight he wanted to cuddle into me but we were both too hot and so got grizzly. Its hard cause he won't sleep if not wrapped and if wrapped hes too hot. Its still 27 degrees in our house (we have an HRV so we know temp)]]> Thu, 08 Feb 2007 22:35:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108152&title=newborns-in-summer#108152 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108134&title=newborns-in-summer#108134 Author: Kels

Yes busymum its awful this heat on our small bubs. Alize was up every hour last night, hot, grizzling and down right uncomfortable. I just sat and done the whole cool flannel thing. I stared offering him cooled boiled water when he was 4wks as was trying to encourage the gavigon out of a bottle thing. Ems newborns in summer read was good too]]> Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:24:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108134&title=newborns-in-summer#108134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108104&title=newborns-in-summer#108104 Author: busymum

It's just so awful hearing my usually settled baby grizzling and there's nothing I can do Just bathed her and she's sweating already.

Not much you haven't mentioned already but Tips for Summer Newborns

I've been giving the gremlins cool boiled water since about 10 weeks, but only because they are formula fed. If Krysti is breast fed then she should be fine, just offer more frequent feeds so that she gets more of the hydrating foremilk.]]> Thu, 08 Feb 2007 19:43:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108071&title=newborns-in-summer#108071 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108063&title=newborns-in-summer#108063 Author: busymum

Is there anything else I need to do for Krysti besides
*feeding on demand
*dressing light
*cold cloth body wipe-down

bearing in mind that she's only 3 1/2 weeks? Is cooled boiled water for older babies?]]> Thu, 08 Feb 2007 19:26:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5604&PID=108063&title=newborns-in-summer#108063
