The heatwave might be over but it’s still set to be up to 25C this week.
It seems like nothing compared to last week’s highs but you might still be in need of those heatwave hacks for the rest of the summer.
One mum has a great tip for keeping her kids cool – breastmilk lollies.
It also uses up leftover breastmilk and helps with teething pain
Mum-of-three Leanne’s 11-month-old Willow loves them and her older daughters Autumn, nine, and Poppy, four, have tried them too.
The hairdresser from Leeds, West Yorks., who is still breastfeeding her youngest child, said: ‘Willow will not drink my expressed milk, so I started thinking of ways to give her my milk when I’m not there.
‘I thought about maybe putting them in a lolly and bought some lolly moulds.. This all happened as our weather started heating up – so it’s worked out brilliantly.’
Leanne thought they may make a big mess when the milk melted, but Willow loves them so much they don’t get chance to melt – even in this heat.
Leanne, 37, said: ‘She chomps away at them so fast that they’re gone before you know it.
‘Even Poppy and Autumn have had a try, though they’re not really allowed to eat them, they’re for Willow.
‘It’s a great way for Willow to get extra milk and stay hydrated while giving her all the nutrients she needs.
‘Willow is also teething right now so it doubles up as a teething aid, cooling her hot and sore gums down.’
