Day 2 and no breast milk

I’ve been formula feeding so far. But When will the breast milk come and how do I make it happen?

Keep stimulating even though milk is not here yet. It helps the milk to come faster.

Can let me know what supplement you took? Mine almost 4wks and i have no milk supply. Tried pumped, but only less than 10ml :(

Keep latching for at least 20min each side (same duration for both sides)

Have you tried massaging? If no then you should! Hopefully that helps.

Still in hospital? Nurses should be able to assist you on that.

Don’t be stressed out. Formula is as nutritious :)

During the 1st day it should have the colostrum 😉

Some also recommend to continue drinking mama milk.
