I keep feeling very thirsty as I start feeding. Am I getting
dehydrated?
This is another example of the wonderful design of the
body. The thirst you experience just as you start feeding
is just your body’s way of ensuring that you take
in enough fluid. You are losing a lot more fluid than normal
and need to replenish this fund. Other than drinking the
required 8 glasses of water a day and obeying these thirst
signals, you do not run any risk of dehydration.
