Were's my milk gone!!!

How long does this stage last for? also is it normal to have less milk in the one side, as it seems that my left has more milk than my right, she pulls on the right side quite alot.

I drink about 10 pints a day, lol im thirsty all the time

beware! you can drink too much and reduce your milk supply.

Tasha buy a litre bottle of water and use that as your measuring mark. You need to drink 3 to 3.5 litres of water a day.

10 pints of water is 5 and a half litres!! Budge has a point hun it is very possible to drink too much water. For your own health reasons too its good to find a balance. A non breastfeeding adult only needs 2.5 litres a day. If you have a constant thirst then you might want to mention it to to your doctor.

the way i do it is to have a glass of water or whatever everytime i feed. and maybe a couple of glasses inbetween.

My mum told me to drink whenever i feed elora... but i never understood or asked why i just assumed(sp?) its to help your milk supply? that right?
