Trying to make the most out of the heat
Added 2022-08-17 23:56:55 +0000 UTCOur power went out for two nights here in Mexico and it was so hot and humid sweat beads were pouring down not only myself but my children as well. I found it more difficult as a Breastfeeding mother to do anything but lie down to nurse. Luckily before the power went out I had put a wet towel in the freezer and was able to use this to cool ourselves a bit. As you can see in the photos my face was very flushed from overheating. There was nothing I could do to cool down except lay in front of a breezy open window on the bed while my daughter drank her milk from mommy. Surprisingly she nursed a long time maybe due to being so warm. Milk flows better from the breast when the breast area is warm. Although I was not comfortable at all in the heat my children seem to take it well and my breast was able to feed my daughter a lot more milk than usual in the warmth. This is why mothers are told to nurse in warm water or use hot compresses to get the milk flowing.
