BF supply tip

babym6705

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.

Good to know!

Must be the increase in electrolytes--I know I've been craving powerade like crazy lately.

Thanks for the tip! At 10 months, I've hit a bit of a supply dip. I drank a Powerade the last 2 days and noticed a pretty dramatic increase in pumping output!

I'm not crazy about the added sugar and artificial additives, but as AmyG said, it's not just about hydration, but the added electrolytes, which is why it may have extra benefit vs regular water.

Found a recipe made from fruits and veggies (and yes, coconut water!)
