Summer is here, don' t forget to hydrate!!

The general recommendation for breastfeeding mothers is at least 13–16 cups (about 3–4 liters) of water per day for nursing moms

In summer heat or with physical activity, add another 1–2 cups at minimum

Breastfeeding increases daily water needs by roughly 16 additional ounces on top of the standard adult baseline

Thirst is a late indicator of dehydration — by the time you feel thirsty, you're already behind

Some early warning signs of dehydration are worth recognizing: fatigue beyond the usual new-mom tired, dark yellow or amber urine, persistent headaches, and lightheadedness. These can be easy to dismiss when you're busy, but they're your body asking for water.
