More water? I spend so much time on the toilet as is but then again my weight is way down despite eating tons so it is likely dehydration. I will take your word for it since I know you have been there.<br />The problem with breastfeeding on the slacker is that la cocotte slacks off b/c there is so little reward (hard to explain long term benefit to an 11 month old) but now that I think about it, I can pump on the slacker everytime we breastfeed on the over-achiever. ok... thanks for your input on my output :) I will drink more & pump.PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-36473576233887518962010-07-11T00:15:09.561-07:002010-07-11T00:15:09.561-07:001.

Even when you think drink enough, you don't. When it is so hot it seems you have to drink more than you are comfortable drinking to keep making milk. During all of my ultras, I basically lost milk production for a day due to dehydration and then it came right back. Same with dehydration on warmer days. As long as she keeps sucking, you will keep making milk, even if you go multiple days without making ANY, it will come back and to normal levels if you hydrate adequately again.<br /><br />2. You need to start breast feeding with "the slacker" every time. Boobs produce milk when they are needed. And if "the slacker" realizes it's needed again, it will step up to the job.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-55621175405814572212010-07-11T00:14:05.322-07:002010-07-11T00:14:05.322-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.com
