Last week I was pumping between 13-17oz a day and now Im under 10.... what happened???? This is so not good. I send 15oz a day to daycare!!

Are you staying very hydrated? I am constantly having to remind myself to stay hydrated. Also I noticed the one time I have gotten my period in 6 months that my supply dropped right before.

I am very hydrated... over 60-80oz a day (Im only 4'8" and 140) so thats a lot for me. My hubbys kinda worried though cause my urine is still bright yellow and my lips are cracking and dry even with all that water... No vitamins or suppliments though.

Hmm those are signs of dehydration.... Maybe try something with electrolytes? Maybe @bahamamama4828 or @homebirthadvocate can help?

lilbit01_209

@ashley_smashley Yeah I dont know. I also have gatorade and juices in addition to the water...

Bahamamama4828

Coconut water!!

lilbit01_209

@bahamamama4828 That helps with production??

Bahamamama4828

Its very hydrating, healthier than Gatorade or any juices and full of potassium

You might be drinking too much water which may lower supply

If I drink too much my supply goes down.

I am gonna try coconut water! I make the exact amount Ollie needs...and it would be nice to make a little extra.
