Should i be concerned that my milk has not come in yet?

No: Well, it depends how old your baby is. It may take about a week for your breast milk supply to fully come in. It is important if you are nursing for the baby to be on the breast about 8-12 times per 24 hrs in the first few weeks. This will help to not only increase your milk supply, but also ensure that your baby is satisfied. Regular checkups w/your doctor are good to be sure baby's weight is ok.

No: It will come in as long as your body has no underlying problem (very rare). Just keep feeding and you will get there.
