    How much water?

    How much water should I be drinking while breastfeeding?
    Currently I am having a bit over 2L (plus juice etc). The pharmacist today though said I need more if breastfeeding.

    Mad B is right. If you are thirsty, drink. There is no need to push fluids - you'll just end up on the toilet all day. In your case milk supply is not the issue - but even if it was, drinking excess water does not increase your milk supply (feeding your baby frequently does)

    I always had a cup of raspberry leaf tea and a glass of water to drink every time I sat down to feed.
