When I was first establishing I poured a big bubba mug of water every time I sat down to nurse and would try and finish it while she ate. Then it just became habit and I drank when I was thirsty (which was like, always!)

I heard you should just drink to thirst. Which in the early days, I was thirsty! Especially in the middle of the night. When he was a newborn I probably drank 100 ounces a day. Now I aim for 70 ounces.

I was just drinking to quench my thirst which was so hard because I was always thirsty!! I didn't monitor it too much because I knew I was drinking a lot, maybe more than when I was pregnant!

A lot! I aim for at least 64 oz of water alone but that doesn't include juice, tea or coffee

I feel like such a bad mommy! I drink way less water now then when I was pregnant or even before I was pregnant. It's just hard enough for me to remember to drink water and use the restroom nowadays!

@hilsy85: I agree. Sometimes I almost get twice what I normally pump and all I have had to drink is a Diet Coke or two (or three). I drank that much water to (1) keep my thirst at bay, and (2) to try to get rid of as much pg and IV bloat as possible!
