Did you experience any of this when your milk came in? Between days 3 - 5 you may experience these symptoms as your milk comes in;
1 Low grade fever - this is super common and many women will feel a bit rubbish and develop a slight fever, this doesn't last long and it is safe to take paracetamol during this time if needed.
2 Breast engorgement - You may wake up feeling like a porn star, boobs heavy, full and the skin may feel tight. This is normal - feeding usually resolves this.
3 Leaking milk - as your transitional milk comes in you may notice your boobs start to leak more from the increased volume. Especially if your baby cries.
4 Change in colour/consistency - Transitional milk is not as thick as your colostrum nor as yellow, the colour will lighten slightly.
These are just the most common of the signs that your milk is coming through and many women experience a whole myriad of different things!
