How much water are you striving to drink each day if you nurse?

    Everytime I'm up I drink a full glass. Not sure what it equates to but I can def tell the difference in my supply if I forgot to drink during the day.

    No set goal but I'm SO thirsty all the time so it's a lot! Probably TMI, but I judge my intake my the color of my pee and drink more water if it's too yellow.

    I just try to drink water all the time, limit salt, cut out even more junk (which turns out to be mostly salty X_X ).

    I have my big cup from the hospital and aim for drinking four full cups a day. I usually end up drinking five. So around 100 ounces

    I have been drinking about 4 to 5 liters of water most days (growth spurts tend to be 7 to 8 liter days).  I have been using my camelbak eddy bottle so I can track my water intake fairly easily.

    Ain't that the truth! I have to hide my glass because DD will drink it if I leave it out.

    I'm aiming for around 100oz. I have a 32oz water bottle I have with me at all times.
