If you were only able to express from birth how long til your milk came in?

Chody I was express only and my milk came in on day 3. I could only get 1ml max until then when it started upping as it changed from colostrum to milk.

Good luck, I know you must be exhausted already

Hi, It sounds like you are right on schedule and your milk is increasing and will be in the next day or two. This is a really good website for maximizing milk supply for prem babies http://newborns.stanford.edu/Breastf...roduction.html

Thanks Barb! I'll look now.

Well a bit of a win - my milk is definitely coming in as I'm expressing much more (obviously can increase much more though).

DD2 has not needed any formula top ups in her nasal tube since 2am yesterday. AND I've managed to express enough for most of the day so far today which is great since I have to go home today, so whilst I am expressing at home for a few feeds she will have plenty here. Hopefully it continues and there will be no more formula. Yay!

Fantastic your milk is on its way, Chody. I hope Is@belle is not far behind you in going home
