   What if I have a delay in my milk coming in?

   • If you have a delay in your milk coming in, don’t feel discouraged. Continue to express milk. That means removing milk from your breasts with a breast pump or by hand.

   • Feeling stressed or anxious. Stress is the No. 1 killer of breastmilk supply, especially in the first few weeks after delivery. Between lack of sleep and adjusting to the baby’s schedule, rising levels of certain hormones such as cortisol can dramatically reduce your milk supply.
   • Supplementing with formula. After your baby is born, the breasts operate on supply and demand. Exclusively breastfeeding drives higher demand, so the breasts create more milk.
   • Eating or drinking too little. It can be tempting to diet after giving birth to lose “baby weight.” Make sure to eat enough to replenish the 500 calories breastfeeding burns each day.
   • Getting sick. Just catching a virus or bug such as the flu, a cold, or a stomach virus won’t decrease your milk supply. However, related symptoms such as fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, or decreased appetite definitely can.

   If you are having trouble with delayed milk production or a decrease in the amount of milk, then first take a look at the number and length of your feedings. And make sure that your baby is able to put his or her mouth around your nipple to nurse (latch on) and can transfer milk from your breast.
