There is no magic answer to this one that fits all nursing mothers. The best rule of thumb is to always make sure that you are taking in liquids. While straight water is great for you and your milk production, your body's need for water can be satisfied just as well with tea or other (non alcoholic ) drinks. Rather than forcing yourself to remember to drink a certain number of glasses of water each day, just avail yourself to refreshing glasses of water through out the day. Listen to your body, if you're thirsty drink! If there is any one rule I would suggest it would be to try to have a glass of water next to you when you nurse your child. As you nurse your body will call out for a replacement of fluids. Having a glass of water you can sip from while nursing will satisfy this need. Of course the other indicator that you are drinking enough will be seen in your milk production. If you are having trouble making enough milk, try drinking more water. Do be wary of anyone telling you to drink this or that certain thing. Water is always the best thing for anyone to drink. If someone is trying to sell you their magic elixir, just say no thanks drink a glass of water and put the money you save into your child's college savings account.
