@ashleea9898, yes gurl super real! I feel bad Bc I could never drink this much water while pregnant unless I forced myself but then it sucked Bc I couldn’t hold my bladder

@2sweetie, that wasn’t the case for me. I started pumping Bc I wasn’t producing enough milk by just nursing and had to supplement formula to fill her up.

Yes !!! I drink a gallon a day lol the thirst gets real ! 😩😂

@whitmom2be18, so you’re exclusively pumping? If so, then that makes sense. But if you’re nursing then you don’t actually have to pump at all. Your baby will tell you to make more milk.

@2sweetie, i think I’m going to do that tonight . My daughter isn’t sleeping through the night yet . She wakes up to eat every few hours so that’s when I pump while her dad feeds her. I was trying to get my supply to come in more so I was pumping every 2-3 hours but I have enough milk stored to sleep through the night now but before (like a week ago) I had to pump when she ate just to stay one bottle ahead

@whitmom2be18, why do you pump in middle of the night? If baby is sleeping then sleep! I have never pumped in middle of the night with either of my kids. I wake up really full but hey I’d rather sleep.

@tasticmel, it really does! It makes me super sleepy as well

@2sweetie, Yuup! Maybe even more. I literally fill up two pitchers and sit them by the bed for my middle of the night pumping session

@lunachar62, yuuup! It’s a must

Breastfeeding takes a lot out of you. You need lots of water and you need more calories then when you were pregnant

Yep drink up! I drink probably a gallon a day!

So am i i read when you breastfeed it says to have water with you
