A member asked:
When will my milk come in after birth?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
3-4 days: Milk production varies by the individual, but for most women, they begin to notice an increased milk supply around the 3rd to 4th day after birth. Don't worry, though, the colostrum that is produced immediately after birth is very caloric, and is exactly what your infant needs.
