Actually, this is relatively common. The colostrum(initial milk supply) that comes in sometimes takes several days to flow in quantity, this will have little to no effect on a healthy child. This is a very concentrated form of mothers milk and has immesurable benefits for a new baby. If you start a baby on a bottle you seriously lower the chance of successful breastfeeding, as the latch is entirely different and the baby becomes confused.
My wife had a difficult time with our first child(Maya) and almost gave up after four days.....this was one of the few times I made a serious request of her. Two days later we had a great latch and plentiful milk supply. To this day she thanks me for insisting we keep trying, as our kids have gained wonderful benefits from breastfeeding.
