Understand breastfeeding mummy need to consume a lot of fluids. Do you still continue to drink longan water even after confinement? My confinement lady says longan water is for replenish blood so should continue to drink while breastfeed. How do you replenish lots of fluid beside soup?

I still drink longan with red date after confinement, as I find that it not only replenishes blood, it's a booster for me as well. Especially when I add in a handful of black dates into the mixture and boil. I drink a lot of water too after confinement. It'll help you stay hydrated and helps you boost your milk production. You'll constantly be hungry so make sure you have some healthy snacks with you too, like oatmeal cookies, nuts or even dried fruits. Just take note of the sugar in instant stuff, but I think it's not harm in taking them in moderation as we are burning a lot of calories to make milk for the baby.
