00:00 When will my milk come in? And when should I start breastfeeding?
00:03 We want the mom to breastfeed within the first hour after giving birth.
00:07 And that's because we want her baby to get the colostrum or the first milk that comes out that
00:12 is full of antibodies. This is what will help your baby fight infection and will definitely
00:18 help with immunity. So in the first 24-48 hours, the colostrum is just going to come out as drop.
00:25 And you don't want to be worried about this because that is all your baby will need.
00:29 But by the third, fourth day, that's when your milk will actually come in. When you say that,
00:34 it means that your breast will feel a lot fuller and your milk starts to increase in volume.
00:39 And that's when we expect that the child is going to be feeding around 8 to 12 times in 24 hours.
00:45 And you should keep continuing until you're much ready to stop later on. But of course,
00:51 ideally, we want you to continue breastfeeding exclusively for at least six months and onward.
