Ok, as of today, I'm starting to produce milk, but it's not very much. Please tell me that my supply will increase over the next few days, or LO is never going to gain weight. I don't feel engorged or a let down when she eats. Can it happen over a few days?
Re: New Mommy...and Stressed
Don't stress and don't give up. Like PP's said, put your baby on the breast as much as possible and your supply will increase.
I am 1 month into it and it gets easier everyday.
Mine came in during days 4 & 5. It didn't all happen at once. Like PPs said, just make sure LO is eating, and you should be fine.
Also, make sure you're eating well & staying hydrated.
This! Keep putting your baby to your breast it will help set your supply. The more your baby is at your breast the more milk you will produce. Also try having 1 beer (dark beer) that will help your milk come in. Keep your chin up BFing is a challenge at times don't give up after a month or so it gets 200 times better.
Ditto this, minus the 10 month old part
I was panicking because I had no signs of my milk coming in and people (the pedi and LC) kept asking if things were going alright and that I was leaking and feeling a letdown. After posting on here I visited kellymom and found it means nothing if you have none of that. DD is also a very effective eater. I was worried she was nursing such short periods (15 mins on one side average - they kept telling me 20 mins on both sides) because there was no milk, but she gained a lb a week 2 weeks in a row and had a dirty diaper every 2 hours or so. As long as there aren't weight or dehydration concerns I wouldn't worry!
