Love is in the air, but so is thirst! 

New moms, have you ever noticed that the moment your baby latches on, you’re suddenly parched? Like a “must-have-water-NOW” kind of thirsty? That’s not just your imagination—it’s science! And the culprit? Oxytocin, aka the “love hormone.”

This Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about the magical connection between love, breastfeeding, and hydration—and why your EasyJug might just be your new breastfeeding BFF.

Meet Oxytocin: The Love Hormone That Runs the Show

Oxytocin is the ultimate multitasker. It’s the hormone of love, bonding, and milk flow. Your body releases it when you cuddle your baby, get a hug, or even just hear your little one’s cry. But its biggest job for breastfeeding moms? Helping your milk flow.

Every time your baby latches, oxytocin signals your body to release milk in what’s called the let-down reflex. But here’s the kicker—it also triggers an intense wave of thirst.

Why? Because milk is 87% water, and your body is making sure you don’t run dry while nourishing your little one. It’s your biology’s way of saying, “Hey mama, go grab some water!”

Breastfeeding Moms & The Love-Thirst Connection

Imagine oxytocin as the ultimate Valentine’s Day date—it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but it also comes with some demands:

• More Water, Please! – Your body needs extra hydration to keep up with milk production. Moms need 16 cups of water per day (that’s only 1 EasyJug refill!).
• Oxytocin & Thirst = A Perfect Pair – As oxytocin surges, so does your thirst. The moment your milk lets down, your brain sends a signal: DRINK UP!
• Postpartum Recovery Booster – Oxytocin isn’t just about breastfeeding—it also helps your uterus contract postpartum. Staying hydrated aids in faster recovery (and keeps you from feeling totally wiped out) because it also replaces blood loss from childbirth.
