I don't cope well in the heat, at all. If I'm not able to be poolside with a mojito, summers usually consist of me hiding in our bedroom sitting next to a portable air-conditioning unit all day...

So now I've seen the forecast of 30 degrees for the best part of a week in London I am seriously stressing!!

What on earth am I going to do with our 10MO all day - and more importantly, at night?!

*cries*

Edit: Really appreciate all the suggestions! Sadly we are in a flat with no garden so paddling pool is out the question cries even more! - but seems like shady park spots, ice cold m&s trips, 0.5 tog with nappy, and getting our air con unit going is going to be the survival approach!

Our 9.5mo terrible sleeper was getting slightly better since dropping to 2 naps a month ago. We were averaging about 2 wakes - the first he would tend to sort himself within a few mins after a small cry and the second I would feed.

We try to keep his schedule at 2.5-3/4/4 as this seems to work and wake 6.45-7am bedtime 8pm ish.

Then, this week, he gave us an 8 hour stretch with only one wake to feed TWICE! These are the only times that's happened since he was born!

We accidently slept in yesterday until 7.45am so wasn't able to wake him until then - capped naps to totall 1.5hours (to keep close to 11hours total awake time) but the night was the worst in ages! *cries* The shortest first stretch he's had in a month of only 2 hours then waking every 1.5-2 hours from there with lots of whimpering in between...

He falls asleep independently without a dummy but sometimes needs assistance and his dummy if he escalates during an early wake (no feeding before 2am).

How can I get Friday and Sunday's 8 hr stretch with only one wake at 4.30/5am ish to happen again?! Feeling so defeated by having the taste of a great night twice and having it snatched away again...
