Most mums find that they don't get that really engorged feeling until after bubs is born, so try not to worry too much about how you are feeling right now! Some mums, like me, have never had that really full-to-exploding, leaking everywhere type feeling! Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. Maybe I'll get it this time around

Generally you produce small amounts of colostrum before birth, which the baby feeds on right after birth. It is the separation of the placenta (after birth) and the baby suckling that tell your body to start producing more and to changeover to the more mature breast milk.

As for when that happens - well, again, it is different for every woman. A friend of mine recently had her second bub and he fed fed fed sucked sucked sucked for almost two days straight and her milk came in at 48hrs. Mine, on the other hand, is more like 5 days, or it has been with both my kiddies.

It can be anything from 48hrs up to a week! But don't despair and don't be too quick to break out the formula - your milk WILL come in, eventually. And you don't need to do anything while you are waiting, apart from giving baby free access to the breast. They might be unsettled while they are working to get your milk to come in but that's ok - lots of cuddles, boob time, and it will all happen.

Don't forget you can call the Australian Breastfeeding Association's 24 hour a day helpline on 1800 62 68 62 whenever you need a bit of extra reassurance!
