Tips for breastfeeding mothers to stay hydrated

Breastfeeding causes bewilderment and confusion for the breastfeeding mother, especially if she has her first child. How much fluid should a breastfeeding mother drink? What foods and drinks should she avoid? What is the importance of drinking water during this period?

Breast milk contains 90% water, which means breastfeeding mothers lose fluids through breastfeeding, which increases their risk of dehydration. Therefore, staying hydrated is crucial for breastfeeding mothers to ensure adequate milk supply and optimal breast milk composition.
