absolutely nothing came in for me until 3 days but continued to try to nurse and finally the flood gates opened. so much milk... Every doctor and nurse I talked to said it was perfectly fine to avoid the bottle for a few days until my milk came in. it definitely broke my heart though

you guys, the nurses should be able to tell you everything you need to know. I had amazing nurses my first time.

I agree! @aimers8031 I was wondering about this too ! @caprisun04 lol thank you for asking for me 😉

@caprisun04, there is no such thing as a stupid question. you don't know what you don't know. :-)

I pumped immediately after my daughter was born and I was producing 8-9 oz by day two! your body will make exactly what baby needs! don't stress yourself but I would definitely recommend pumping!

Oh wow. U guys are the best 💙 thank you!

you don't make milk at first you make colostrum!!! it's super high in fat/protein/other nutrients and the baby eats that until your milk comes in!!! my milk came in day 2, some people have to give their babies a little formula if they are still acting hungry but I never did and my daughter was gaaining weight okay!

you have milk ever since about 4-5 months pregnant it's called colostrum, it's not until a couple of days of baby eating the colostrum that your "milk comes in" which is only your milk getting thicker and producing more. the colostrum is usually only like 2oz but for the first couple days that's plenty for your little one .

You'll latch them and they'll eat the colostrum that comes out first, that is said to be the most important for them to get. As they get that your body will get an idea of how much milk to make

Usually the milk comes in, but the hospital usually has little 2 oz newborn bottles of formula.
