Breastfeeding Friendly Chilled Strawberry Lime Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated while nursing can feel like a full-time job on top of, well, the actual full-time job of feeding a baby. This pitcher of strawberry-lime infused water makes it genuinely easy to reach for something refreshing throughout the day without relying on sugary drinks or caffeine. Fresh strawberries and thin rounds of lime steep in cold water for a few hours, turning it a soft blush pink with a light, fruity fragrance that feels a little fancy even on the most exhausted of days. The longer it sits in the fridge — up to eight hours — the more the flavor deepens, so you can prep it the night before and wake up to something ready to go. A handful of ice and a sprig of fresh mint take it from simple to genuinely lovely. With just three core ingredients and no added sugar, it's as clean and wholesome as hydration gets, which is exactly what you want when everything you consume matters a little more than usual.
