How long after a cesarean section can you breastfeed?

Patient's question:

I've had a C-section for two days now. Yesterday, I started breastfeeding, but only managed to produce a drop or two of milk. However, the baby can suck for about ten to fifteen minutes each time. Can he actually get milk? When will I be able to produce more milk?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, milk should gradually increase two or three days after childbirth. It is recommended to engage in appropriate activities off the bed. If you can have a bowel movement, drink more soup-based foods. Do not breastfeed on schedule; let the baby eat whenever they are hungry. Frequent sucking will also increase milk production. This is the complete introduction to "Is it okay to start breastfeeding two days after a C-section?" Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
