hey guys, i have a girl who is pregnant, was pregnant when i got her. she will have my first kits. i have everything i need in case of her milk not coming in, but i was wondering how to tell if that happens, i'm assuming that keeping a close eye on the kit's weight will be an indicator. any help would be appreciated!
 
Do you have a scale that weighs in grams?

After the kits are dried and fluffed up, weigh them. Weigh them at the same time daily.

Sometimes it takes a day or two for the milk to come in. If after a day or two they aren't gaining daily, or they're losing, it is time to intervene.
