Help! Not producing colostrum yet?

[tkford216]

Hi all. I'm just starting out here. Baby was born early yesterday morning, and I planned to EP from the start. So far I've been pumping every 3 hours, 15 min each, with the hospital grade pump, but I'm not producing any colostrum yet. Do you have any suggestions to get this process kicked into gear? TIA!

Are your flanges the correct size? Do you have the pump turned on high enough?

I assume so? I have everything set how the nurses told me to do it.

Thanks for the suggestions stratto814! I've been sucking down water and we did some serious skin on skin for a while before the last two pumping sessions and I finally started to get something this last time. Not a lot, and the left is definitely doing better, but it's something!
