It is important to drink plenty of fluids when breastfeeding, but try to advoid sugar filled fizzy drinks and caffeine. Posh health spas serve infused waters, which are refreshing and a lot more interesting than plain water. Why not make your own and refrigerate until needed?

I was told by my midwife & Dr, that eating or drinking anything with mint, can & will dry up your milk supply. This is something that I thought all breastfeeding mums should be told when they have their precious little ones. :)
