Question

Two days after my cesarean section, I’ve started trying to breastfeed, but I can only squeeze out a few drops of milk. The baby can suck for ten or fifteen minutes each time, but can he really get any milk? When will I have enough milk?

Answer

According to your description, your milk supply should gradually increase within the first two to three days after the cesarean section. It is recommended that you start gentle walking and consume more soup-like foods if you have started defecating. Feed your baby on demand; whenever he shows interest in feeding, give him a chance to suckle. Frequent suckling helps stimulate further milk production.
