Silly question...

this may sound a bit of a silly question but is anyone else's LO sleeping more in this heat?? My little girl is 6 weeks on thursday and she is usually so alert and active, but the last couple of days she has been sleeping more than usual. (usually she fights going back to sleep after feeds but the last couple of days she's been going off straight away, sometimes during feeds) my Mum said its probably the heat, but I'm realy paranoid!! saying that, yesterday she woke up for a feed at 3, and finally went back to sleep at about 9:45!! So maybe she's making up for it today!! Also, she has a heat rash on her face... it comes and goes but looks so horrible :( Is there anything I can do to get rid of it (apart from stopping her getting hot which is impossible at the minute!!) xx

Hi, it's not a silly question. My LO (10 mths) has been sleeping loads and like your little girl he normally fights sleep during the day!! He has also been off his food, but then I don't really feel like eating cos it's too hot! Not sure about the heat rash, might be worth patting her face with a cold flannel or sprinkling her bed with cold water xx
