Your water needs really do increase while nursing — it's very natural to ask. Rather than giving one exact liter goal, an average range is more accurate: about 2.5-3 liters daily. But spread it throughout the day, not all at once.
The most practical way: make it a habit to drink a big glass of water right after each feeding. Your body also sends a signal when thirsty — if your urine stays light yellow, you're getting enough. No forcing, just drink regularly after nursing and when thirsty.
