BF Supply Tip

I have found that Gatorade (regular, haven't tried G2) dramatically increases my supply by just drinking one bottle a day. I thought I'd share in case there's any moms out there tired of oatmeal and the gross mother's milk tea. HTH someone out there.

Interesting. Makes sense though. I always found taking my prenatal vitamins helped keep supply up too!

Maybe it's the hydration? I'll definitely try it. Thanks.

I can also vouch for this! I've been drinking 1-2 of the G2s & it's been working pretty good. Fenugreek made my babe way too gassy & I had to stop it just as it started working

It probably is. I'm an awful water drinker.

Fenugreek makes me smell sooo bad! I'll try Gatorade. I can't take the BO any longer- especially since I'll be going back to work in 2 weeks.

Thank you!

I started drinking from a camelback water bottle and it has helped me drink a ton of water! Not sure why but drinking from the soft straw helps me down a few bottles a day! Hope this tip helps someone like it did me.

@mamamael I love my camelbak! I drink probably five 750ml bottles a day and one overnight. It's so great.

I drank a 32 oz bottle of G2 yesterday in honor of this thread.

Bringing this back up because I drank quite a bit of Powerade this last week or so, and have finally been able to pump some extra after my supply dropping when Alera was in the hospital! Probably a combo of drinking more because I like Powerade and the drink itself. XD

Interesting. I have been drinking a 32 oz. here and there quite often, and have always had a good supply. Didn't know they were correlated, but I think hydration in general is important. Coconut water is good too if you don't want all the sugar.

I'm addicted to the Limon Pepino ( lime cucumber) G2 Gatorade. It's amazingly delicious and refreshing.

I've been drinking the g2 because big this thread and it does work
Also I love the fruit punch one it tastes like red kool aid and the g2 only has 50 cals a bottle
