In General your supposed to drink 6-8 glasses a day that about 1.5-2 litres of fluid.

Technically how much you drink doesnt actually affect your supply BUT it seems common sense to me to make sure you are well hydrated and looking after yourself generally after having a baby and in particular when you feeling like they are sucking every drop of moisture out of you! I swear I must of looked like a little raisen all dried up on the sofa when she was having a spurt...

This isn't official advice but for me I tried to drink a large glass of water for every feed - I personally found feeding made me almost instantly thirsty in the early months, so it was easy to remember.

Like the girls have said: mobile, house phone, telly zapper, large glass of water/cuppa and of course laptop in nice position for one handed BnB surfing....
