Feeling Extremely Thirsty While Being On Lactation

I am hungry and thirsty all of the time. I have been drinking a lot of water, but my thirst does not subside. I am a 27 year old female and I am in my 10th month of breastfeeding, my milk supply has also dropped by 1/2. I am also having trouble concentrating.

Hi
For lactation ( secretion of milk ) fluids and calories are needed .

So you have to take lots of fluids like water , butter milk, fruits juice, milk.

And eat whenever you are hungry.

When you are hungry in body glucose levels will be decreased , because of that you can't concentrate on things.
