BF and food/water intake

I’m EBF but finding it really hard to drink and eat as much as I should be - will this affect my supply?

It depends what you mean by "should be" if you're eating a varied healthy diet and drinking a good amout of water each day then it's unlikely your supply will be effected.

With my first I was hungry all the time and was constantly eating. Never lost baby weight because of it.

This time round I'm less hungry and I only eat when I'm hungry. That could be 1-3 meals a day. However, I'm always thirsty so I'm drinking an average of 3-4 litres of water a day and some days I'm still thirsty! Xx
