Patient's question:
During the National Day last year, my cousin gave birth to a daughter. Because the baby was too big, she couldn't have a natural birth, so she had a cesarean section. On the first day, she didn't have any milk, so she had to feed the baby with formula. Later, after about four or five days, she started producing milk. I don't know if it's okay to change the diaper immediately after a cesarean section.Doctor's answer:
It usually takes about 24 hours. The International Breastfeeding Association also recommends that babies should be encouraged to suck early, which is beneficial for the mother's milk ducts to open and for early milk production. It generally depends on the situation, looking at one's physical expansion. If it appears on the third day, the baby can also be encouraged to try sucking, although there may not be much milk at this stage, it can promote excretion and enhance bonding. I was discharged from the hospital after a week and started taking care of the baby myself. Since the baby was small, I never lay down to change diapers, fearing that I might doze off and accidentally press the baby. I always sat down to change diapers.Cesarean section is a condition that is not easy to heal. Friends who have undergone this procedure should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in overcoming the cesarean section and believe that recovery is certain.
