BREASTFEEDING AND FLUID INTAKE
Breastfeeding can be hot and thirsty work, especially as we move into Summer. When fully breastfeeding, women produce ~800mL milk per day so they will naturally feel thirsty.
* There is no set volume that breastfeeding women must drink each day - aim to drink to thirst, enough that your urine is a pale yellow colour
* Limit sugary and carbonated drinks on hot days as they can make you feel quenched when you actually need more fluid
* Add variety to your water bottle with frozen berries, fresh lime juice or mint leaves

GETTING OFF THE TRIPLE FEEDING TREADMILL
When babies have slow weight gain, mothers are often advised to 'triple feed' ie breastfeed and pump and top up the baby. Frequent milk removal is important to milk production but many women find the 'triple feeding' regime to be exhausting and unsustainable.
If you want support and some manageable strategies for boosting supply and baby's weight gain, please SMS one of our skilled and caring lactation consultants to book a consultation.

Our Mums Express lactation consultants understand the huge commitment of time and effort that this takes and we want to acknowledge our incredible mums of 'small but mighty' preterm babies.
