Your baby is 3 days old...
Your milk is still coming in.
Your baby’s stomach is still tiny.
And somehow you’ve already been told your supply is “low.”
No.
In those first few days, it’s normal for your body to be producing colostrum before your milk increases in volume. Every feeding journey is unique, and seeing small amounts of milk or frequent feeding doesn’t automatically mean there’s a supply problem.
The internet, well-meaning friends, and even family members can sometimes create unnecessary worry. Before assuming something is wrong, get support from someone who can assess the whole picture.
An IBCLC can help determine whether your baby is feeding effectively, your milk production is on track, and whether any intervention is actually needed.
Sometimes the best advice starts with one simple word: No.
