Water is the KEY ingredient to ushering the toxins out of your body.
It is also critical to milk production. The more you drink, the better.
You will know when you are drinking enough because you will use
the ladies room plenty and you will experience night sweats.
Night sweats are uncomfortable and messy but kind of awesome.
You might feel soaked, but clean, and like you just lost 7lbs! The
more you sweat the more you will need to replace the toxic water you
lost with healthy, pure water. In addition to helping you loose baby
weight (much of which is water retention. Seems weird that water helps
water retention but it does.) drinking lots of water will also give you
energy, and clarity. Drink water the minute you wake up, before you
nurse, or do anything. Consuming healthy amounts of water is a big part
of taking care of yourself. Give yourself easy access to water as well.
Keep a pitcher or large bottles of water in the nursery, near your bed,
even in the bathroom.
