75 | 3 Things Every Pregnant Mom Should Know About Milk Supply in the First Week
So many pregnant moms head into breastfeeding worried about low supply — especially when they hear “your baby is nursing constantly” or “you don’t have much colostrum.”
But here’s the truth (and what most moms are never told):
Frequent nursing + tiny amounts of colostrum = NORMAL.Your baby is doing exactly what tells your body to make more milk.
In today’s episode of the Breastfeeding With Confidence Podcast, we’re breaking down the real science behind milk supply in the first week — so you can walk into breastfeeding feeling calm, confident, and prepared.
What You’ll Learn
✨ 1. When milk supply actually beginsLactogenesis II (your true milk “coming in”) only starts after the placenta separates. What you leak — or don’t leak — during pregnancy has nothing to do with how much milk you’ll make.
✨ 2. Colostrum is produced in tiny amountsColostrum is thick, sticky, and intentionally low-volume. Your baby doesn’t need ounces — they need frequent nursing. And no, pumping “nothing” isn’t a sign of low supply.
✨ 3. Why frequent nursing is NORMAL, not a red flagCluster feeding = your baby stimulating your supply exactly the way nature designed. Supplementing too early can disrupt the supply-and-demand cycle you’re trying to build.
We also touch on delayed milk coming in, retained placenta, postpartum hemorrhage, and how to protect your supply if birth complications arise.RESOURCES
