What nobody tells you about your milk coming in

The first thing nobody tells you is that your milk coming in can feel like your b***s have been replaced with two bowling balls.

And then there’s the stuff you REALLY wish someone had told you.

Your baby may suddenly cough, sputter, pull off, or seem overwhelmed at the breast because your milk is coming out faster. If that happens, try a laid-back position so gravity slows things down a little.

If your breast is so hard that your ni**le basically disappears, baby may not be able to latch. Don’t just keep shoving the ni**le at them and hoping for the best. Reverse pressure softening around the ni**le can move some of that swelling back and give baby something to actually grab.

You might also notice one side is doing WAY more than the other. Completely normal. Your b***s are sisters, not twins.

And if you’re pumping, this is where people accidentally create a problem. Pumping until you’re completely empty every time you feel full can tell your body, “Yep, apparently we need to feed triplets.” If you’re just trying to get comfortable, remove enough milk to soften things up.

Also, your milk coming in does not mean breastfeeding suddenly becomes easy. Your baby is learning. You’re learning. Your ni**les are filing a formal complaint.

And if you’re having severe pain, a worsening red/hot area, fever, chills, or feeling like you got hit by a truck, don’t just assume it’s normal engorgement. Call your provider.

The goal during those first few days isn’t to have perfect b***s or a perfect feeding schedule.

It’s to get through the chaos while your body figures out what the hell it’s doing.
