IT IS TOO HOT HERE.
I can handle the New England winters fine. Just need boots, coat, snow tires, hot chocolate, Netflix. But this humidity, especially when it's above 90, makes me wilt in the most undistinguished manner.
Someone asked me today if breastfed babies need extra water when it gets this hot, so I thought I'd post this link to a kellymom.com page that explains why breastfed babies who feed on demand don't usually need extra water even when it's hot. Supplementing with water can reduce your supply, too. There are always exceptions, and if your baby seems dehydrated you should call your doctor, but this is the general idea.
I'll let Kelly explain the rest because it's too hot for me to think straight. Here's a post I did last year on how much water you need. Goodbye.
