[quote=Anonymous]Remember that in the first few days after birth you will only produce small amounts of colostrum before the real milk comes in. Don’t freak out - your milk will probably come in just fine but it Can take a while. Baby’s stomach is size of marble when they are first born so you don’t need gallons of milk. I’m an A cup and about a week after birth was producing more milk than my baby needed after initially being very nervous about weight/milk production. My advice is to spend LOTS of time skin to skin with baby including lots of “no pressure to nurse” cuddle time and have a good lactation consultant help with latch etc (get an appointment where they come to your home shortly after birth). When your milk first comes in your breasts may quickly get very hard and engorged making it hard for baby to latch and it might seem like you have no milk even though you do. Warm compress/ showers combined with Massaging breasts and pumping out extra milk if this is the case can really help.
