On the first day of breastfeeding, I know that ur milk doesn't come in yet; so does the baby only get the small amt of colostrum you produce that day and nothing else???? Can the baby survive off just colostrum until the milk comes in?

    The baby only needs the colostrum. How do you think babies survived before formula? :) your body will change the mill to meet the needs of your baby.

    @marysue @2ndbutfirst @FirstTimeMommyToBe Thanks I guess I just see how often babies on formula eat those first days! But I'm glad to know that!

    OK so I have a 7day old and yes the colostrum is enough for baby ...problem is baby will be trying to eat literally like ever hour to hour n 1/2 and nipples will get sore quickly, well mine did!! I had to suppliment with formula til my milk came down cause my baby wouldn't stop trying to eat!!! :O
    My babys greedy like me!! Lol

    Milk came down about 3days after birth. The first day was ok, but after he was like umm I need some more!!! LOL I couldn't sleep for more than an hr without giving him the formula, he wouldn't take a pacifier. Smh
    were good now though! :-)

    @mommyof3tobe I guess that's what I'm scared of.
