Boobie milk

How many days after the birth did your milk come in?
I've read alot online that it can be anywhere between 2-5days..
Did yours come in sooner if you had already been leaking colostrum throughout the pregnancy?

Nope, leaked colostrum from the beginning of the second trimester with 2 of my pregnancies and it still took about 2-3 days for milk to come in. Sooo uncomfortable those first few days!! Ugh. Not looking forward to the first few weeks of breastfeeding at all.

Leaked for a long time during pregnancy, and it came in after 2 days. With my first, it was really uncomfortable. With the other two, not so bad.

Mine came in after 2 days this time. I didn't leak during pregnancy but only stopped bfing DS3 a couple of months before I got pregnant. 2 days is early!

Thanks ladies - Is it just uncomfortable or 'Painful'?

The first few days are not fun - I'd go so far as to call it painful - but it doesn't last very long.

Lol i agree. Nothing prepared me for the first time. My milk came in fast, my bbs ballooned... It was alarming. But after a few days everything smoothed out.

Mine usually comes in about 2-3 days after delivery. It is always like waking up with two bowling balls on my chest. I get so engorged at first! Oh, and I have never leaked colostrum.

I don't find it at all uncomfortable or painful either during the early days or when my milk comes in - I'm lucky I know but you may be lucky too :D

My milk came in after 2 days with my 3rd child. I don't remember the other two. I never leaked colostrum.

Thanks ladies :) At least I've had my warnings now!
