Drinking water while breast feeding is actually a smart and prudent thing to do. When the situation allows, such as when nursing at home, the best thing to do is to have a glass of water close at hand. It is very important for a nursing mother to stay well hydrated. After all, breast milk is primarily water and that water needs to be replenished for the mother's best health. If a nursing mother is not prone to drinking alot of water, she should make sure that she has another source of additional fluids. Natural fruit juices, herbal teas, and the like are good additions to drinking water. Of course stay away from alcoholic and caffeinated drinks as these will pass on negative substances to your baby. So drink up mothers! And nurse well and long!

Which is more nutritious breast milk cow's milk or soy milk?
It all depends on who is doing the drinking of the milk: If you are a baby human, the very best thing to drink is mother's milk. If you are a baby cow, the very best thing to drink is cow's milk. If you are a baby soy bean, drink soy milk. (Sorry for the bad joke) The truth is that for babies, breast is best. Without doubt, the longer a baby nurses at its mother's breast the greater the benefits it will receive. Don't forget that the benefits of breast feeding extend past nutrition. There are huge short term emotional health, immunological, long term mental health, and long term physical health benefits that accrue with breast feeding. The nursing mother also gains health benefits from nursing. It is especially true that these secondary benefits can only come through breast feeding and that a bottle full of Bessy the Cow's milk will never meet.

Is it bad to drink water while breast feeding?
A breastfeeding mother needs to drink enough water to satisfy her thirst. A baby normally needs only breast-milk for the first six months of life. Giving water can fill the baby up too much so it gets insufficient calories and can cause the milk supply to drop. Once the baby starts to have other foods, cooled boiled water can be offered at mealtimes.
