Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread does your milk "come in"? #12315 01/15/09 05:17 PM Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 33 M misidawnrn OP member OP misidawnrn member M Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 33 I am on day 3 of pumping and doing great (I think). First day I got 2cc's then 1cc then 2cc. Second day I got 2cc then 3cc's then 7cc's. This mornings pumping I got 15cc's!!!! I was so excited! Does this just slowly increase like that or does it "come in" like a post partum mother's milk? Either way, I am so excited to get that much. My DD-5 is also excited. She watches the bottom of the bottle and say's "Mom, more of Sarah's milk is coming out!!!" It is so cute that she is excited. Thanks in advance.

I just slowly increased over time. I started pumping almost 2 months ago. I started by getting just drops. Then, I was getting 2 ounces a day. After almost 2 months of pumping, I am getting 16 ounces a day. And, it's still increasing. It's not increasing as fast as it was, but, it's still climbing.
