Patient's question:
I've been postpartum for a week after a C-section, and my milk supply isn't enough yet. So, I want to ask how long does it take for milk to be sufficient after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, it is normal to have insufficient milk supply. Some women start producing milk within three days, while others take about a week, depending on their physical condition. You can take some lactation-enhancing medications appropriately and focus on a nutritious diet, especially fish soup, bone broth, and chicken soup. Even if the milk supply is insufficient, the baby should still be breastfed daily. Rest in bed and avoid staying up late. For severe cases of cesarean section, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Do not blindly trust advertisements or medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can help you. Thank you.
