Water intake??
« on: January 05, 2010, 01:40:42 am »
Anyone know the minimum amount of water I should be drinking a day while breastfeeding?  My LO is 10 weeks old but has decreased her feed time over the last few days..... I noticed tonight I don't feel as "full" as usual.   I've not had any issues before but wonder if I need to up my water intake to keep up my supply??  Anyone know the recommendations?
Thanks~

As your LO gets older you wont feel that "full" feeling as much anymore. As long as your LO is content and still growing strong your golden.

Just drink as much as you need. There really isn't a set amount. Follow your bodies cues. Some days you'll need more then others. If its hot then its a good idea to drink extra too.
