thanks again! mommy pawe's getting frustrated from not being able to feed our boy. For the moms here, when do you think the milk will come in? does it take longer for moms with c-section?

Regardless, if she was close to full term-what the baby will be drinking is colostrum. It's kindof a clear version of milk. Her full milk is coming in in about 2-3 days, then BOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYY her boobs are going to get huge for the next months...get back to her and have fun with those!!!

The first 24-36 hours are more about getting the baby used to the nipple. The more she attempts breast feeding the more comfortable she will get at it and the milk will come. It's very important to be relaxed. She ought to see if there is a breast feeding coach at the hospital. They can show her techniques to use. I would mention one or two here, but the IQ level of this board isn't high enough to keep it professional.

You could also go to the LaLeche League website at http://www.lllusa.org/ . I think you can find some great advice there.

Thanks for the advice! The lactation nurse did say she has colostrum right now and the milk would probably come in after 2-3 days. It's so nice to hear my baby hum and cry and sneeze even if it was just on the phone. cant wait to see him and hold him.
