  I do the same but it's not exactly up there on my priorities. Either I'm busy with DD or doing chores so I don't think about it or I've gotten a break and am only thinking about relaxing.

  I keep my water bottle that the hospital gave me by my side at all times. I try to drink a lot but it is hard! I refill it probably 3-4 times per day. Not sure how many ounces it holds.

  I have a 32 oz Bubba water bottle that a friend got me when I got home from the hospital. I love it! It's got a rubber like straw. BPA free. I aim for 3 in the day and 1 overnight. At a minimum I try to get half my body weight in oz, but ultimately I want to get more. BFing makes me soooo thirsty, so it hasn't been an issue. I also get paranoid that my supply will drop if I don't drink enough.

  I have a 16 oz cup that I tryyyy to chug after every feeding and refill. I also attempt to try drink one or two when she sleeps but I often fail at drinking cause I choose sleep food or something else instead.

  Probably not enough, honestly. I bought a camelbak hydration pack and wear that while i nurse which helps. But the thing goes stagnant so often, my god.. I'm always bleaching that out which is just one more chore on the list. When it's soaking, I keep a water bottle on hand in almost every room of the house. I also make sure it's on the side opposite the breast Olive is feeding on because I only have use of one hand max at any time during feeding. I need to keep a hand on my breast at all times and often on her head too or she just slides off or somehow loses the plot. It's frustrating. 
  
  I know i eat a lot of "watery" foods - soups, vegetables, fruit etc. So i'm sure i'm getting hydrated from the food i'm eating too. But i worry that i'm not drinking enough water.

  I'm pretty sure we all struggle a little with keeping up with what we are "supposed " to be drinking. I'm not good with it myself but my husband recently bought me a decorated water bottle to motivate me to drink more. It's bright so I notice it and it reminds me to chug! Refilling maybe 4 times a day, if that.

  I bought my self a 32 oz bubba water bottle too about a week ago because I know I haven't been drinking as much as I should. Seeing it definitely helps me drink more.
