How long does it take to get milk after giving birth

It takes about three days after delivery to get more adequate milk, and it varies from person to person. The time of lactation may not be the same for every woman, some women will have milk production within 24 hours after delivery, some women will have milk production a bit later, usually not more than three days, but there are also people who have no or very little milk at all. It is recommended to let your child suckle at the nipple as early as possible after delivery to stimulate milk production from the breasts and also to prevent postpartum milk rises. If there is no milk secretion after delivery, you can find a lactation consultant to massage your breasts and stimulate breast lactation to increase lactation. It is recommended that women should drink more water during this period of time, and eat more food such as crucian carp soup, pig’s trotters soup and other soups, which is conducive to the promotion of milk secretion.
