When will my milk come in?
Your breast milk arrives in three different stages and production actually starts before you even give birth!
Colostrum also acts as a laxative to help newborns pass themeconium, or first poop, from their system.
Your body only produces tiny amounts of colostrum after giving birth.
Transitional milk appears between colostrum and mature milk, usually around the third or fourth day after giving birth.
Transitional milk takes on a more whitish color and is usually more abundant than colostrum.
Mature milk contains all of the fat and nutrients your baby needs.
Why might breast milk production not increase right away?
If your transitional milk seems like it’s delayed, there could be a few possible causes.
