Third day after cesarean section, still no milk, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Post Cesarean Section, third day of milk return, now twenty days and still no milk.

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who are breastfeeding should also pay attention to adequate fluid intake. Since mothers often feel thirsty, they can supplement fluids while breastfeeding or by drinking more fresh fish soup, chicken soup, fresh milk, and boiled water. It's important to replenish fluids moderately so that milk supply will be both sufficient and nutritious.
Mothers who are eager to lose weight to regain their pre-pregnancy figure may find it difficult to maintain milk supply. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers wait until the breastfeeding period ends before controlling their diet to lose weight. In fact, breastfeeding already burns a lot of calories. As long as mothers do not overeat and combine it with postpartum exercises, they can avoid fat accumulation.
