I've had two calls this week from women seeking to increase their milk supply. Over the phone I did a brief discussion to see why they think they need to increase their supply. (I will suggest a consult if it seems necessary). Both of these women reported that they were trying to increase supply by drinking more water. Both women are drinking 1 or more gallons of water per day! (128 oz. per gallon) They wanted to know if they should drink more! I found information in Ruth Lawrence's book about a study which indicated that women who drink too much water experience a decrease in milk production. Have any of you found this with your clients? I'd appeciate knowing more about how much water is really too much? Thanks! Janet Talmadge, IBCLC, LLLL Naperville, IL
