when did your milk come in? I'm on baby number 2 and he is almost 48 hours now- just waiting for it to come in.

    I can't remember for sure, but I think it was day 3 or 4.

    Congratulations!!!!!!

    I think the first time it was day 4, and this time I think it was day 3. Just keep nursing regardless of when it comes in. I was less painfully engorged this time because I was nursing so often. The first time it was uncomfortable because I wasn't nursing as often as I should have been.

    My milk didn't come in until about day 4-5... Maybe even 6 days. Just keep nursing and it'll come!

    Day 5 for me, even with lots of pumping (baby had latch issues so I needed to pump to get things started).
