Hi, I had the same thing. I gave birth on Friday and milk came on Monday. I just managed to get all the colostrum by hand expressing. I hand expressed all the time on Sunday cause I was a bit worried why it was not coming. Then on Monday I woke up engorged and the breasts were leaking milk

I had similar as my baby was taken straight to NICU when he was born. Didn’t have much luck hand expressing colostrum but when I eventually put baby to breast he latched straight away and then I suddenly had an ample supply of colostrum and milk came in the following day. So my advice would be to put baby to breast even if you don’t think you have any milk as you would be surprised.

That’s what I’ve been trying to do on breast anytime.

Are they latching and feeding? If they are getting colostrum that's great they only need tiny bits at a time milk is constantly changing but day 3 to 4 that’s where you will get engorged as a milk matures more and changes from the thick colostrum
