For best enjoyment, chill first, or pour over a glass of ice. They retail for $9.99-$11.99 per four-pack, and are currently available at select Babies 'R Us stores and online at store.babycenter.com. HYDRATION MEANS HAPPY AND HEALTHY DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING 40 Weeks and MaryAnn Scandiffio, BA, CNP of Bravado! Designs say Drink Up! What goes out must come back in again. Breast milk is mostly water, so it’s important for you nursing moms to top up your fluids. A good way to ensure that you don’t go thirsty is to always have a glass of water or a Bellybar Shake accessible when you start to nurse. Be sure to sign up for the monthly drawing to win one of four Bravado/Bellybar care packages! Here’s an interesting tip: drinking raspberry leaf tea also provides hydration, and helps to tone the uterus back into shape! HELPFUL HOW-TO:  Choosing to breastfeed means that you and baby will spend many hours feeding. You should be as comfortable as possible. Be sure to take special care in setting up your breastfeeding station at home. The Baby File Book by Amanda Dobbins offers guidance on this often underestimated precious space:“Find a comfortable spot and set up a feeding area where you have some basic supplies nearby: a phone, a snack, something to read, and tons of water... Newborns often drift off to sleep while eating and you could find yourself in one place for a while with a precious bundle in your arms.” For more information on setting up a breastfeeding station and getting breastfeeding support, visit: www.babyfilebook.com.
