I'm a little late replying to this query, but anyway, this is totally
anecdotal:

I had a friend who found that, when she became pregnant, her toddler nursed
more at night.  Her milk supply was dwindling and my friend wondered if
maybe the child was just *thirsty* and not happy with the amount or quality
of the milk she was getting.  (Mom tasted the milk, too, and said it tasted
salty.)  So they kept a sippy cup of water next to the bed and offered that
when the toddler asked to nurse - and whaddaya know, she and everyone else
slept better.  She drank a good bit of water, went back to sleep, and
*stayed* asleep for many hours.

Offered FWIW ...
