Milk come in?

when did your milk come in? I'm 6 days PP and while my milk is less yellow and more white I don't think it's come in yet. I had supply issues with DD1 and taking a million supplements to increase it this time it nervous DD2 isn't getting enough.

Does she eat regularly? Is she fussy between feeds?

I feel like my milk took almost 2 weeks to come in. When it did it was almost painful the first few times. felt like a million needles in my chest! I had to pump immediatly to get the pain to stop. If you like licorice there is a tea out there that is supposed to help called Mothers Milk tea. You will have to google who around you sells it. i got mine from walmart and though i detest the taste about the time i started drinking it i noticed thats when the milk came in. From time to time its still fairly a pale white color. Also has to do with your daily diet!

LO was born on a Tuesday night and my milk came in that Saturday. My boobs felt hard and huge! It's only now 8wks that I feel my milk let down. Before I never did.

I also eat oatmeal with flax seeds (from trader joes) every morning. And have 1-2 cups of mothers milk tea just to keep the gold flowing nicely :>

I think this is different for each woman, for each pregnancy. My milk came in either on the 4th or 5th day. I had the opposite supply problem but I think that's mainly because I started pumping a week PP. With nursing on demand and that one pumping session, I was signaling to my body that I needed to make way more milk than I actually did, leading to OALD and severe OS.

Once my supply balanced out more, I focused a lot on just making sure I was eating enough (good) calories and drinking a ton of water. Best of luck!

I'm on a bunch of supplements from the LC. Taking Goats Rue, Go Lacta, drinking the tea and as much oatmeal with flax/lactation cookies as I can stand. She's eating a lot and isn't too fussy so I think I'm paranoid. We have a doctors appt tomorrow. I also took her to our local parenting center and used their scale and she's the same weight today as she was on Saturday so I'm hopeful she's gaining. I just wish there was a clear line on milk production and I know I'm scared because of last time. I'm point a lot and got more today than yesterday so I hope it's all good signs. Thanks everyone!!
