Does BF make you thirsty?
I've been EBF my DD since she was born and for the last couple of days I've had such an unquenchable thirst. Is this normal?

Re: Does BF make you thirsty?
yes, very normal. You should be drinking a lot. You are burning calories and she is drinking milk. You get thirsty!

Yes, I sometimes have a glass of water before I sit down to nurse b/c there are so many times where I'll sit down and as soon as she starts to nurse I'll feel so dehydrated but don't want to get up!

Absolutely normal! I was constantly thirsty in the beginning. Fortunately that does go away.

Re: Does BF make you thirsty?
YES,YES, YES! Milk production drains liquids out of your body since milk is... well.. a liquid. Make sure you drink A LOT! Dehydration might cause you to lose your supply!

Yes. I used to have a bottle of water next to me when I sat down to BF.
