Ok so I'm 3 days PP......had a C section
I still don't have a milk supply
I am EBF, but am worrying that my daughter is not getting enough......
I tried pumping after 2 hours of a feed and literally 4 drops came out 😩😩
How long until my milk comes in??!
in my opinion I think it is. I remember waking up and my chest just felt so heavy lol. and no problem glad to help. good luck!
@geekymomma13, one of those "when you know, you know" type things huh? LoL well, good.....hopefully by tomorrow! Thank you! 😘
youll def know. they get bigger and feel really firm/hard and they feel heavy. i knew as soon as i woke up that morning. some women leak, I didn't but I didn't breastfeed either.
@chelseaepley, @geekymomma13 @maddismum what are the signs that the milk has come in?! Can you feel it? They get swollen? They leak?
yay! Hope everything goes well :) you'll probably have somewhat sore nipples if she's clusterfeeding Maddi did that the second night and she was seriously on the boob for about 5-6 hours straight. It's tough but they're just sending signals for your body to make more milk :) lansinoh was seriously my best friend as well as warm washcloths
@chelseaepley, @maddismum thank you ladies!!! I nursed her again tonight and she seemed to have benefitted from it.....she's out cold now lol
My real milk didn't come in until 5 days. until then your colostrum is exactly what they need their little tummies are only the size of marbles :) and if they seem like they're constantly on the boob they're trying to bring your milk in so whenever you supplement let them nurse right after you give them the bottle so they're not too frustrated from hunger to nurse
Pump or latch her on each time you give her formula so your body knows she still needs the milk. It'll come in! Just give it a couple days!
@chelseaepley, I just gave her a bout a half an ounce of formula...... she hadn't had a poopy or a pee diaper like at all since we got home from the hospital last night...... about 10 mins after the formula, she had a real gross poopy one! Prob pee too, hard to tell. She seemed ultra fussy this morning so I felt bad, that's why I have her the formula to supplement......gonna give her a couple of hours and try and breastfeed again......ugh!!!! Hopefully my milk comes in soon!!!! I'm stressing out!!! LoL
@geekymomma13, thanks!!!
