What should I do if I don't have milk after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section and it's been a week today. My milk isn't coming in. Is it related to anemia? How can I get my milk to come in?

Doctor's answer:

The milk doesn't come down and it's not related to anemia. It's recommended to express more, let the baby suck more, and if that doesn't work, you can try a lactation consultant, as some of them are quite effective. In addition to treating the cesarean section, it is suggested that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life. The diet should be light and avoid foods. It's also important to maintain a happy mood to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
