[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I’m eating more, drinking 64oz of water, and using 1 electrolyte powder a day. He still think that’s not enough. He thinks I need to eat larger portions, snacks, and drink a gallon of water a day...He thinks I need almost a gallon of water a day but I can’t drink all of that. [/quote]
WebMD sides with your husband here:

"Breast milk is made of 88% water, so getting enough water is very important for your breast milk production, Ornelas says. “When you’re breastfeeding, [your water intake should] increase even more because your body is working nonstop to make the breast milk,” she says. “The recommendation is about 125 ounces, which is 16 cups. That’s a lot of water.”

Not only do you need this water to help produce breast milk, but you also lose about 25 ounces of water through your breast milk every day, which needs to be replaced. And again, if you’re in a very warm place and sweating a lot, you’ll need even more. "

Ok. I will eat another snack and drink more water. I just can’t force myself to drink a gallon of water. [/quote]
OP I'm siding with WebMD and your DH because one gallon of water per day is what I drank with both of my newborns.  One pint of water every three hours adds up to a gallon.  Eating and drinking enough is essential for breastfeeding.  [/quote]
