A nursing mother's daily fluid needs are significantly higher than that of a normal adult. General pediatric and obstetric recommendations are that nursing mothers consume approximately 2.5–3 liters (2500–3000 ml) of fluid daily. The majority should be water.

What matters most, however, is following your thirst cues. Drinking a glass of water during or right after nursing is the easiest way to maintain fluid balance. If your urine is light yellow, you're getting enough water; if it's dark yellow or you feel thirsty, you may need to increase water intake. Every mother's needs are different — hot weather, activity level, and milk quantity affect this.
