Make Healthier Milk for Breastfeeding
Watch this video to learn more about the health benefits of this water.
We have selected a handful of products that we personally use and think are Mom’s Must Haves. Alkaline Ionized water is at the top of the list. Not only for better breast milk production and healthier milk for breastfeeding but also both mom and baby feel so much better drinking this water.
This is how I found out…
Whenever we travel my production of breast milk supply goes down. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing so differently; I made sure to eat the same nutritious diet, kept up with my prenatal vitamins and drank lots of water. And then it hit me… Water! For the past 3 years our family has been drinking ionized alkaline water and when we traveled, I was having plain bottled water.
We were on a long trip and I was without my ionized water for over 30 days because we didn’t have the right voltage converter for our ionizer (we were out of the country). Wow there was a huge difference. My breast milk production was lower and even though we were having a very relaxed trip, I felt worn out. My brain was foggy and I found myself cranky and snappy. Zoa, my baby girl, was starting to suffer from constipation. After one week of being off ionized alkaline water she stopped her regular daily poops. The next 3 weeks she only pooped once or twice a week. My husband and I really started to worry. He would come home and say “did she poop today?”!! When she did poop she cried like it was excruciating.
When we finally got the water machine going again it was amazing how fast these issues disappeared. I immediately felt better, my breast filled back up that same day and Zoa was back on her regular pooping schedule in a few days. Yay! It was because of this 30 day break I discovered how crucial alkaline water is for breast feeding moms.
A friend had a tough time breastfeeding due to low supply, especially when pumping. I suggested for her to try the water and she did. Right away her production increased and she had more daily energy.
My breast feeding and alkaline water conclusions:
- When I am drinking fresh alkaline ionized water I produce much more milk. My breast are fuller and after a night of Zoa feeding almost non-stop I ‘fill up’ again much faster.
- Since this water is multiple times more hydrating I get more hydration out of the water I drink. I don’t have to drink a gallon a day to keep up with my breast feeding demands. I usually drink about a half a gallon a day and I feel very hydrated and fresh.
- The type of water I drink has an effect on my child’s poops! When we don’t have access to our machine to make our tap water into ionized and alkaline water, her poops are more solid. Our daughter had breast milk exclusively for the 1st 6 months and is her primary source of nutrition now at 1 year as she eats only a little here and there with 90% of here nutrition from breast milk. So with that in mind most of her poops are liquid unless I’m not drinking this healthy water, which then it’s more solid, she poops less often because she is constipated and she gets cranky the days that she needs to poop. But when I’m drinking this great water, she’s well hydrated, poops easily and no cranky poop days!
- Some other areas I noticed it really helps is my skin and energy. My face acne cleared up, as well as my eczema and even some of the lines under my eyes decreased! Also I’m not nearly as sluggish during that afternoon slump.
