Gatorade working for anyone?

catben

Is the gatorade helping anyones supply? I have a hard time drinking it because its so salty. I feel like it might even be hurting my supply. Dont know why because it actually makes me drink more water. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't like gatorade for the same reason so I decided to try vitamin water, that seems to really work for me.maybe u should try somethin else like powerade or vitamin water and see if that helps at all.

If you don't like Gatorade try pedyalite or homebirthadvocate suggested a drink called recharge.

It didnt seem to work for me until I changed when I drank it. I started drinking it near bed time but no luck. Then I started drinking it during the day and upped my other fluids at night (juice, water) and it seemed to work

It works for me. I drink it throughout the day along with other fluids.

Gatorade's G2 is the 'leaned out' version. It is lower in calories and sodium and tastes exactly the same. That's what i drink and i think it definitely helps. I sip on one throughout the day in addition to water and then half of another right before bed.

ArmyMommy

I drink G2 as well. It doesn't have the salty taste.

catben

Thanks ladies. I will try G2 and vitamin water.

I drink it throughout the day. I think it helps.

I drInk g2 too. The fierce strawberry m melon taste the best...normally I don't drink Gatorade because of the taste but I'm getting used to it. At first I thought it was helping but idk anymore. I think it stopped me from losing weight tho lol I been stuck at this same weight since I started drinking it

I got a whole case, drink one almost every day, have about 6 left and havent noticed a damn thing. Also taking fenugreek for well over 2 weeks and havent noticed a thing either.. Still hand expressing barely 5ml each session. Bs.. depressing as hell. Ill probably end up giving up. Something is not working and its really pissing me off....

I've noticed a difference. I drink the g2 raspberry melon...yummy. The fenugreek was making my baby gassy.

As a mom who does both breastfeeding and formula (baby wasn't gaining weight, but I'm not wanting to give up nursing), I've noticed an increase in my supply. Today I drank 60oz of it and nursed an extra time in the middle of the day...tonight, my boobs hurt and they haven't hurt in a few weeks. I will be nursing her in a bit as she has no desire to fall asleep and it is a sure bet she will if she's on the boob.

@jessannengland I feel your pain! It's soon depressing! I can't pump anything and I only hand express a few drops. My lo will suck..but not nurse. She just does that really light sucking that you can barely feel!

JessAnnEngland

@ta2edblondie i was just exclusively pumping for a whole month trying to get my supply up before i nursed and it never did so then i nursed a few times & he hurt me & now i cant pump or nurse because i have to heal for a few weeks & can only express.

JessAnnEngland

Noone told me i was doing it backwards.. the hospital i gave birth at sucked bad. They knew i wasnted to bf and introduced a bottle and binky anyway.. he could never latch right.. even with the nipple sheild we always had problems then about a week ago he latched to my left side without a sheild just fine and that was it.

JessAnnEngland

Im pretty much done. Nothing ive done has worked so i obviously cant do nurse or produce milk for some reason..

JessAnnEngland

Cant nurse or produce***

JessAnnEngland

@Mimii36 Im sorry:( I know what youre going through. It really sucks. I hope you get your supply up mama!
