It can take anywhere from 1 to 10 days for breast milk to fully come in after giving birth. The average is 3-4 days; this varies from woman to woman. I can take one women 2 days and another 7 full days. There is a transition period in your milk and it's usually a slow process you will slowly start making more and then your full supply will be established and can begin to fill up pretty quickly.
During the time it takes for your breast milk to come in your baby gets EVERYTHING it needs from your breasts (colostrum) it is there even if you think it's not. A newborn only needs 1/4 of a teaspoon of colostrum a day. There is no need for additional supplementing before you milk fully comes in. In rare cases of milk taking 10 days then you may need to supplement.
As long as your baby is wetting and soiling diapers you can be sure they are getting enough.

∙ 11y agoAll things being equal, as long as your child continues to provide the necessary nipple/breast stimulation by suckling the mother will continue to produce breast milk. Breast milk supply is determined by how demand the child places. Or more simply said, the more a child nurses, the more milk its' mother will produce.

Does a girls breast contain milk even if she is not a pregnant and at what age she may find milk in her breasts?
Age has nothing to do with when a female produces breast milk, and the only time a female has milk in her breasts is after giving birth. The first breast secretion after delivering is not milk, but a substance called "Colostrum", which is thought to have more of the vital nutrients and immune boosters than the breast milk itself has. The breasts will produce the colostrum for about a day, then they will begin producing milk. They will continue to produce milk for as long as the mother nurses, but when she stops nursing, the breasts stop producing milk.
