Mine started to come in on the second day PP. But DS still nurses and was nursing up until I went to the hospital. So, that made it easier. The first time took 6 days PP for milk to come in.
My milk definitely came in quicker this time around. I delivered on Friday morning and my milk was in by Saturday night. I pumped and stashed three ounces before we even left the hospital. I was amazed.
FYI...my LO was born a bit early and was in NICU for the first day and a half. I did get to nurse him initially immediately after birth and then they admitted him to the NICU. At that point I started pumping with a hospital grade pump and was taking him any little drops I was able to produce. I pumped for those two days every three hours around the clock until I was able to nurse him again in the NICU.
