XP: When does your supply "establish?"

bigbootyjudi

XPed because the Breastfeeding board is always so friggin slow.

Everyone keeps telling me to wait to buy nursing bras until my supply establishes or evens out. Also, I can't drop pumps until it establishes. So, my question is, when the heck does this happen? Is there a way that I'll be able to tell that it's been established or evened out? I'm ready to wear some real bras!

My LC and ped said 4 to 6 weeks is when it is fully established.

I think you're probably good now. I have all Bravado bras and they're really adjustable if things change.

This. Love my Bravado and plan on getting another. I got a size L and my D's fit perfectly even when engorged there is room and it's very comfortble.

Six weeks is generally what is meant by that.

Mine is just about "evened out" now.  I was unable to even fit into my biggest nursing bras the past two weeks due to oversupply/engorgement.  Thankfully, they have gone down considerably, so I now fit into most of my nursing bras.  I have all Bravado nursing bras and tanks.  

You should be close if not already evened out by 3-4 weeks pp, though it's different for everyone.
