How long does it take to produce milk after cesarean section

Many women feel that the physical condition of women who have undergone caesarean section is relatively special, especially during the breastfeeding period after delivery. Because some people think that mothers who have a caesarean section have no milk, and their milk production is very low, which usually affects the amount of milk the baby drinks. Therefore, it is important to ensure the amount of milk the fetus needs and try to ensure the fetus's physical development. Therefore, women who have undergone caesarean section still need to pay attention to using massage methods to increase milk production after giving birth. How long does it take for milk to come out after a cesarean section?

1. When does milk come in after giving birth? This question applies to all women, although it is different for every mother, but the difference is not big. Most women can squeeze out a small amount of milk from their nipples on the second day after giving birth. This is called colostrum. Later, due to breastfeeding, the amount of milk secretion increases day by day.

2. Each mother has a different physique, which is very important for postpartum milk secretion. Some people will secrete milk during pregnancy, and this type of people can produce milk after the baby is born, and the longest time is about a week. In addition, some people have poor physique, or other problems such as mammary glands, and may not secrete milk. Therefore, a can of spare milk powder should be prepared before the baby is born. It is best to prepare for both hands.

3. After delivery, the placenta is expelled from the body, and the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop rapidly, relieving the inhibitory effect of milk production, thus secreting milk. If milk secretion is not good, you can promote milk secretion through food or massage, such as finding a lactation consultant, eating some Tongcao pig's trotter soup, etc., which are all conducive to milk secretion. In addition, it depends to a large extent on the stimulation of breastfeeding. During breastfeeding, sucking on the nipple forms a sucking and milk ejection reflex, which keeps milk secreted from the mammary glands. This gradually becomes a conditioned reflex, and even hearing the baby crying can trigger milk secretion.
