Wouldn't the simplest strategy be to meet with whoever is carrying out the testing and talk with them about her fluid needs during breastfeeding?  It seems quite harsh that one dilute sample would extend the period of random testing by six months.  Since testing is random, she can't easily prepare when she is breastfeeding.  Surely there is a way around it - blood tests rather than urine, perhaps?

That said, she should also know that drinking water in excess of thirst doesn't have a positive effect on production - but it really isn't feasible for her to be chronically under-hydrated either.
