Read that again…I was so filled with anxiety as a first-time mom that I just HAD to breastfeed that I didn’t think to have formula on hand and my daughter went over 24 hours without eating more than a few ounces. I was starving my daughter because of fear.

But nothing had come in yet in the milk department. Then we got home the following evening and basically she was hungry. We spent the night in the hospital that first night after she was born and it was fine, she was fine, everything was routine. I was told by doctors that it could take a few days for milk to fully come in but the colostrum would be fine for her. When my oldest was born, I had a hard time breastfeeding and my milk supply hadn’t come in yet.
