When is the best time to breastfeed after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I just had a C-section and am preparing for it, but I don't know the best time to change the baby's diaper. It's said that breastfeeding doesn't start until three days after a C-section. I'd like to consult about the best time to breastfeed after a C-section.

Doctor's answer:

After cesarean section surgery, you can change the diaper 6 hours after getting up, but the milk intake may be less. It is recommended to prepare some formula milk in advance. When the milk intake is not enough, you can appropriately provide formula milk to the baby. In fact, having a cesarean section is not scary at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high. Therefore, it is important to actively receive treatment.
