Pedialyte to increase supply??

I was sick over the weekend with a stomach virus and noticed my supply tanked almost immediately. My DH had me drink pedialyte and wow, instantly my supply was boosted big time - it was a very noticeable increase. Anyone drink pedialyte and experience this? I honestly think I'm gonna keep extra ones on hand and drink it if my supply ever seems a bit low! I've always heard to drink a Gatorade but really pedialyte is somewhat similar in that it has tons of electrolytes and replensishes you but with much less sugar than Gatorade. I don't even really mind the taste of the unflavored one! Just curious if anyone else has drank it to increase supply!?

Great idea! I should try it.

I might try it. You have noticed an even bigger boost than what you would experience after drinking Gatorade?

I'm guessing BC you were sick your LO nursed less often. Most likely that's the cause for decrease in supply. Hydration is essential for supply but frequent removal of milk is what'll increase.

Ovaltine does the trick for me. But I hydrate with water all day.
