How much glass of water needed before and after breastfeeding for producing adequate milk.will drinking too much reduce breastmilk?i drink around 10 litre per day while breastfeeding?

If you are peeing more than every 4 hours your fluid load is excessive. There is fluid content in many foods you consume and that plus fluids equals your fluid load. Your breastmilk is made continuously and not an immediate pass through. Your intake seems excessive.
