Hidrate Spark 3.0 – The Smart Water Bottle

PREGNANCY, NURSİNG AND HYDRATION

Pregnancy
Your pregnant body has different needs, and you need to slow down and take care of yourself. Common medical issues women face during pregnancy often have their root levels of hydration.

Nursing

The hydration struggle doesn’t go away after giving birth. Nursing mothers are also much more likely to become dehydrated. While nursing you’re basically the water bottle for your baby, it\’s important to carry around enough liquid for the both of you.

Hydration during nursing is something of a balancing act. Not like a fun, “I’m a trapeze artist in a sparkly outfit” balancing act but an “I’m trying to grow a responsible human being” balancing act. Approximately 90% of breast milk is water. If a baby needs roughly 25 – 28 oz of breast milk a day, then a nursing mother is giving up 22 oz of water a day. That means you would need to take in 22oz of water to start at zero. After taking that into consideration, scientists recommend drinking between a half and a quarter of an ounce of water per pound of non-nursing weight.

Of course, it isn’t quite that simple. And no more math! It can be nearly impossible to keep track of all the numbers and figures associated with hydration. Humidity, temperature, height, weight, how much you are eating, and many other factors all play into the correct amount of water needed by an individual. With new pregnancy and breastfeeding specific features in the Hidrate App, you can have Hidrate help remind you when to drink and keep you on track to stay properly hydrated.
