Breastfeeding New Moms – Hydration and Breastfeeding

The importance of staying hydrated when breastfeeding.

For breastfeeding new moms, hydration is key.  You need to drink, drink, drink and constantly replenish all the liquid and nutrients that your baby is taking out of your system.  You’ll probably become aware of this naturally by being really thirsty as soon as you begin to breastfeed your baby.

Drinking Milk While Breastfeeding vs. Breastfeeding Water Intake

If you are a milk drinker, keep it up.  Milk is a great source of necessary calcium and protein… some women don’t like milk, or can’t tolerate it, and they should concentrate on water and other healthy drinks.

Did you fill yourself up like a tank while breastfeeding?  What was your breastfeeding water intake – 8 glasses a day or less?  Please comment with your story!
