She shared her hack online revealing that she fills a sock with uncooked rice and pops it in the freezer to get it super cold.

Then her young daughter is able to cuddle it in bed which provides the right amount of comfort to help her fall asleep.

Sharing the Family Lockdown Tips and Tricks Facebook group, the mum said: “Tip for keeping the little ones cool in this heat. Fill a sock with uncooked rice and place in freezer! Makes the rice cold and they can cuddle it to sleep!

And added: “My little girl loves to take a rice sock to bed and definitely helps to keep her cool while falling asleep.”

And another said: “That’s a great idea and good to know it works! Will be doing that 2night. Thankyou.”

Desperate for a solution to the sleepless nights, one woman said: “God I’m pregnant & this heat is killing me! I just might do this for myself!”

Some parents even suggested popping the rice in a zip lock bag first, before putting it inside the sock, to avoid any rice from accidentally escaping.

Considering it’s completely free to do and entails almost not effort whatsoever, we are betting many Brits will be going to sleep hugging their socks tonight.

We also shared how women are raving about a £10 bra liner that stops your boobs from sweating in scorching weather.

And cleaning fanatics are using Mrs Hinch’s favourite Minky to cool down during the heatwave.

Meanwhile it seems Brits have been enjoining the sunshine a little too much as they share pics of their horror sunburn fails after basking in the hottest day of the year.
