Where is my milk?

Question

I️ had my csection on Monday morning and started pumping that morning.  Been on a good 3 hour pumping schedule since then so 8 a day.  It’s Thursday and I️ still only have drops coming out?  Should I️ be worried that it will never come?

Answer

I had a c section and had colostrum foe the first few days while in hospital. When we got home on day 3, there was nothing at all just random drops here and there so we supplemented with formula. On day 7 my milk finally came in, but it was an oz here and there. As time has gone on it has increased but occasionally we still have to supplement a bottle here and there but for the most part I produce enough to keep him fed.  It was very frustrating because the hospital lactation consultants were like breast feeding is the only way to feed, and formula is the devil. Luckily for us our pediatrician walked us through the waiting period. The best advice I got was make sure you are taking care of yourself so you can take care of your little one and fed is best no matter is it's bottle (pumped or formula) or breast. Good luck.

Answer

that was my problem.  I'm now 22 days pp  and getting 2oz per pumping session

Answer

Well I managed to get 2.6 oz for the whole day yesterday.  It started to get more throughout the day but at night it dwindled again.  (Baby was also really fussy, so maybe stressed?). My breast are now super ginormous and super sore.  But still just yellow coming out?  Is this a sign the milk is getting closer?

Answer

stay hydrated, eat, rest, pump, and see a lactation consultant ASAP! Good luck!

Answer

Yes, only a few drops from both sides.

Answer

Is it colostrum?
