Whitney-I hear ya! It takes me about a week to get my milk in (I have to supplement formula until then) but then it comes in and I was able to EBF my daughter for 12 months, with my son I had to continue to supplement with formula, he was just too hungry. But Since I was breastfeeding my son I had to buy very little formula. I see so many women who give up nursing because they don't produce enough milk, but they only tried for a day or two. I really think women should be warned that milk does not always come in within a day of birth, there are those of us that take a little longer. And even 6 oz of breastmilk a day is better than none.
