Did you know that it is normal for women not to have their “milk” come in until baby is 3-7 days old? A new mother’s breast will produce 3 different stages of breastmilk to nourish her baby.
1st: Colostrum for up to the first 7 days.
2nd: Transitional Milk for 2 weeks.
3rd: Mature Milk is produced 20 days after birth and onwards.
For new breastfeeding moms, it is helpful to know that not everyone’s milk “comes in” at the same time.
