即使在非常炎热、潮湿的日子里，只要母乳喂养已经稳固下来，您的宝宝在出生后头六个月也只需要纯母乳喂养就够了。

令人惊讶的是，您的母乳会自行调节，以确保宝宝获得所需的全部液体，补够水分。

水没有任何热量和营养。您给宝宝喝多少水都会替代本应喝到肚子里的母乳量。这意味着在下次喂奶时她喝的母乳会减少。

母乳可以给宝宝解渴，同时还提供宝贵的营养和热量。您可能会发现，宝宝在炎热的天气里吃奶可能会更频繁。请记住，宝宝喝的母乳越多，您的身体产奶就越多。给宝宝频繁地喂奶，而不给她喝任何其他液体，包括水和果汁，这样可以维持您的奶量。

大热天里抱着暖乎乎的宝宝喂母乳会让你俩都觉得又热又汗津津的。在手臂上搭一条法兰绒婴儿毯或干毛巾，把宝宝和您的皮肤分隔开，会让你们俩都觉得更舒服。您可能想在浴缸或儿童泳池里哺乳。

在炎热的天气里，您会发现比平时需要饮用更多的水。如果您打算在大热天出门，不要忘记包里多带点水。

当宝宝开始吃固体食物时，您可以添加少量的水。

大热天时，宝宝可能也会喜欢吃健康的冰棒，它是用稀释的果汁、压碎的水果、酸奶或者绿色蔬菜泥（比如菠菜泥）制成的。如果有的话，您甚至可以加入挤出的母乳。一年当中任何时候，正在长牙的宝宝和学步儿，都会觉得这些东西令人舒服。

Breastfeeding in Summer or Hot Weather

Exclusive breastmilk is all your baby needs in the first six months, as long as breastfeeding is well-established, even on very hot, humid days.

Amazingly, your milk will adjust to ensure that your baby gets all the fluids needed to stay hydrated. Water does not have any calories or nutrition. Any water you give your baby takes the place of breastmilk in her tummy. This means that she will drink less of your milk at the next feeding.

Breastmilk quenches your baby’s thirst and provides valuable nutrition and calories at the same time. You may find that your baby might nurse a little more frequently in hot weather.

Remember that the more milk your baby drinks, the more milk your body makes. Nursing your baby frequently, and not giving your baby any other liquids, including water and juice, will maintain your milk supply.

Breastfeeding a warm baby on a hot day can leave both of you feeling hot and sweaty. A flannel receiving blanket or a dish towel draped over your arm between your skin and baby’s can help both of you feel more comfortable.

You may want to consider nursing in a bathtub or children’s pool. In hot weather, you’ll find that you need more water than usual. Don’t forget to pack extra water if you plan to go out on a warm day.

When your baby begins to eat solid foods, then you can introduce small amounts of water. On hot days your baby might also enjoy healthy popsicles made of diluted juice, crushed fruit, yogurt or even pureed green vegetables like spinach.

You can even add expressed breastmilk, if you have any. Teething babies and toddlers may find these comforting at any time of the year.
