Thank you all.
Question- how long did it take for your milk supply to come in? Anyone with PCOS find theirs took longer? I have almost nothing coming out now and doc ordered baby get supplemented with formula because she has lost more weight than normal. I am devastated because I didn't want to give formula but I am doing it for babies good but hoping to stop asap if my milk will just come in. Frustrating.

Girlie I think the average is 3-5 days. I am sending you a message
My milk came in on day 3 with both babies. My DS1 was heavily supplemented in the NICU and nursed without problems for 3 years. I would recommend pumping when you supplement.

3-5 days normally. Mine came in on day 3 with all 5 babies. Don't stress too much Girlie, just try to pump as much as you can as often as you can when supplementing until your milk supply is enough for Bub. You should be fine :)
Congrats to the ladies who have delivered; what beautiful babies! :heart:
@ Mrs Sparkles: I'm hoping all is well with you and buba honey. I was catching up on what you have been experiencing with the NHS and I agree that on some aspects of healthcare it is 2nd to none but maternity really is one of those departments when so much comes down to the postcode lottery of where you live, or even the whim of the consultant you are assigned....
Thinking of you and hope all is well xx
3 days for first baby but I had plenty of colostrum. So you have any? I know PCOS can make this more challenging. Is there a Lactation consultant available for you to see?
I have seen the lactation special more times than I can count. She came in my room multiple times while I was in the hospital. I had colostrum but pretty much dried up now. It has been exactly 4 days since birth.Quote:

Anyone been put on Metformin to help milk supply? (I was on it to conceive too). Doc refilled my prescription yesterday. Not sure yet how I feel about taking it.
I cried when we saw how much weight baby lost- almost a pound in 38 hours from birth. And seeing nothing come out when pumping. I was starving her and had no clue. It has been an emotional 24 hours for me. Ugh.
