No colostrum or milk at all

Hi mummies, I just gave birth yest, i tried to bf my son but nothing come out. I even try to massage and squeeze, nothing. The nurse told me it is normal for no milk for 2 days. But i feel bad as baby wants to latch, and when latching, it can took more than 30 mins, when i let it go, baby cried as he want to latch somemore. Till i had to ask the nurse to gv him FM to make him full.. Any tips? Tia!

It’s normal. Just keep latching and do more skin to skin contact. The baby should only wear diapers and put on your bare chest. Just to share, my milk only came in on the 4th day. The nurse had to feed baby formula on the 2nd day when I was in the hospital cos she was so hungry and crying non stop. My friend shared that her milk only came in on the 7th day. Hang in there!
