Growing a Human? Let’s Hydrate Without the Stress

Listen up, Drifters. This is your Fixer, Allie.

I’m not here to tell you to drink 100 ounces of water a day while you’re growing a human, feeding a human, and maybe trying to keep your own hair brushed before 2 p.m.

You’re tired. You’re leaking. You’re Googling “is it normal to be this exhausted at 3 weeks postpartum” at 3 a.m. with one hand while the other holds a boob.

I see you. And I’m here to help you make hydration the easiest damn win of your day.

I have a Master’s in Public Health Biology from Johns Hopkins, but you don’t need a degree to know that pregnancy and breastfeeding take a lot out of you...literally. Hydration needs can increase by up to 50% during pregnancy and even more when you’re breastfeeding (Institute of Medicine, 2005).

But let’s be real:

• You’re tired.

• You’re peeing every five minutes.

• You’re not even thirsty half the time.

• And you definitely don’t need another influencer telling you that you’re not “doing enough.”

So here’s your gentle reminder: You’re doing enough. Hydration is just one small, kind thing you can do for yourself.

Why Hydration Matters (Without the Lecture)

✨ Helps with that foggy, tired feeling.
✨ Supports your body while it’s working overtime.
✨ Keeps things, well, moving.
✨ Helps you feel a tiny bit more like yourself.

It’s not about “fixing yourself.” It’s about supporting yourself while you’re supporting your baby.

Water Is Great. But Sometimes You Need a Little More.

When you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, your body needs more than just water. Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) help your body actually use the water you drink, and gentle B vitamins can help you feel a bit more energized (Benton et al., 2022).

But you don’t need to go out and buy some moon-charged wellness elixir that costs more than your grocery bill. You don’t need to “biohack” your hydration.

You just need something clean, effective, and easy.

That’s Why I Created Everyday Drip.

It’s hydration that works as hard as you do, without sugar spikes or sketchy additives. Safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, it helps you stay hydrated in a way that feels doable.

Because you’re already doing enough. And you deserve to feel good, too.

Mama, You’ve Got This.

✨ You’re allowed to prioritize yourself, even in small ways.
✨ You don’t have to be perfect.
✨ You’re doing an amazing job.
