Just a quick question, does breastfeeding
make you thirsty like all the time? I
feel like I need to constantly drink
something lol. Im assuming its attributed
to the breastfeeding but not sure .

Yes it does increase your thirst.
For all the milk you are producing you
need to x1.5 that for how much extra you
need to intake.
So if baby takes 16oz per day you need to
drink 16x1.5 (24)oz extra per day

Breastfeeding mothers should consume no
less than 24 oz per day. (that's what I
was cold by .Le .Leche .League)
i'm pretty sure it's extreemly important
for you to stay hydrated. Especially if
you're breastfeeding!
Ok good im not weird lmao, I just never
heard anyone tell anyone about tht when
breastfeeding. , im about to attempt to
move to the couch . Jordynne is asleep on
me hopefully she stays asleep lol I hope.
Im soooooooooo tired.
