Mine came in on day 2 last time but I’m on day 3 and nothing but colostrum. My second baby is now jaundice and I think it’s my fault again. Another extra hospital stay because I tried to breastfeed and failed, again.

Mine took about 5-6 days. It can depend on a lot though, I couldn’t express and I had traumatic labour before c section and also thyroid issues so it was all against me 😂
Just keep going, mine now flows but it was a lot of work having baby on boob non stop and pressuring myself but it was fine in the end x

Day 4/5. Baby was born 11lb and didn’t loose any weight by day 5, colostrum is more than enough just keep latching x

Loads of skin to skin and keep trying to latch! Milk will come! 😊
Breastfeeding isn't easy. Make sure to use the support you have available as sometimes a small change can make a massive different. You've got this!
Also, milk not coming through, jaundice or not being able to breastfeeding aren't failure! Milk will come through, jaundice happens and breastfeeding might be natural but it takes practice! Learning at the same time than you baby is difficult. Don't feel defeated yet 😊
