Electrolytes and Breastfeeding

Yes, breastfeeding is often about supply and demand.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t do things to help improve our overall well-being, energy and potentially support milk supply.
❓ Simply put - electrolytes are minerals to are essential for the functions of the body, including fluid balance, nerve function and muscle contraction.
🍹 Electrolytes can be found in many food sources - including water, coconuts, bananas and more.
🤱🏼 With breastfeeding, there is a higher demand for hydration and electrolyte replenishment, and some moms find it harder to keep up with just food sources.
📕 While there’s not a lot (if any) research on the importance of minerals for breastfeeding, many mothers report a positive impact on their wellness and sometimes supply.
⭐️ I love using powdered electrolyte mixes. The ones in this video are from ‪@Just.Ingredients‬ They have 5 different sources of electrolytes and have a 3:1 magnesium to sodium ratio so it doesn’t taste salty. Great flavor and makes it easier to get your water in! You can always save 10% with my affiliate code TBM, but through 5/24 at midnight you can also use HYDRATE10 for an additional 10%! ⭐️
