Hi Reshmi,

Milk will come only after 4 days after delivery. Until that time, its the colostrum (colorless fluid) Take heart...for some it takes few days for breastmilk to come, BUT keep feeding. initially you have to feed every 1/2-1 hr and that is when we feel our milk is not enough or the babyneeds more. It is not true. You feed your baby ON DEMAND. do that every now and then and yes, your body will produce the required amt of milk to your baby. If you want to feed your milk, stop formula and feed ON DEMAND. after 2-3 weeks, your baby will come into a routine....try hard for the initial few days.....all the best.

take care,
Jichi
