Hydration

Hydrating has become my priority as i breastfeed exclusively


Hydration: My daughter says “mama is drinking water before she is milked” 😂. ⁣ ⁣

✨I find I drink more and MORE water these days especially with exclusive breastfeeding.

I was never big on water, and being daddy’s girl my dad used to get me sprite back home just so I can drink as Kenya IS hot. It could get up to 40 degrees days and almost stayed like it through the night. ⁣ ⁣ ✨ So I am keeping up with my intake to cope with my sons needs.

My little boy has refused the bottle, the pacifier.. only the real deal 😂⁣ ⁣ ✨My daughter jokes about this like “what? Levi! The women these days are full of plastic, hair extensions, nails.. how is that going to work?! 🤣😂⁣ ⁣

✨On a serious note though! Water is your best friend when breastfeeding. It helps clear your head which I find sometimes I feel a bit foggy in my head almost dizzy and cold water helps me.

Was it like that for you?

What did you do to clear your head and haze? #exclusiveBreastfeeding #littleManLevitje #upendoDoula
