That makes sense. Electrolytes not only help with hydration but with fluid balance and also blood flow. I think the only way someone would see a big improvement with milk production is if they are depleted of a certain electrolyte and they replace it.
Adding electrolytes basically helps make sure your body is absorbing the water better and itâs not just passing right through you. You can be drinking a ton of water, but peeing it out and therefore not actually effectively hydrating your body. So I get my electrolytes through packets that I add to my water, the Liquid IV brand makes several good flavors.
Yes 100% what @Jessica said! And I also prefer the liquid iv brand
Most things like Powerade or Gatorade and there are other electrolyte drinks but as other say it helps balance and maintain proper hydration levels in body
Since electrolytes help your body soak up more of the water you drink, that in turn would help breastmilk supply since you have more water in your body to go to making milk. Adding a sprinkle of a good quality salt(not iodized table salt) and a form of sugar to your water is all you need. Celtic salt and agave syrup are my favorite.
Electrolytes aren't essential with breastfeeding, they just help with hydration. So if you're drinking plenty you will be fine đ you can buy electrolyte powder which comes in different flavours if you wish to try
