Looks like your baby may need you to drink a little more than most babies. I agree with Marie that you could look to foods with high moisture content, such as oranges and watermelon, if you are tired of drinking liquids. Your body may need a little time to adjust to more liquid input, so keep working at it... and it will become easier every day. It's a good practice for breastfeeding (if you intend to breastfeed) also.

Best wishes,
