ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. If you had a cesarean section, your milk may take longer to come in, and the baby may also have trouble latching initially.
However, now that your milk supply is sufficient, there are a few things you can do to increase your breast milk production:
1. Breastfeed frequently: Feeding your baby frequently helps signal your body to produce more milk. Try to breastfeed your baby at least 8-12 times a day or as often as the baby needs.
2. Ensure correct latch: It is important to make sure that your baby is latching correctly to ensure effective milk transfer and stimulate milk production. Speak with a lactation consultant or your healthcare provider if you are experiencing difficulty with latching.
3. Practice breast compression: This can help stimulate milk production and increase milk flow during breastfeeding. When nursing, compress your breast gently while the baby is feeding.
4. Stay hydrated: Ensure you drink enough water and fluids to keep your body hydrated. Dehydration can affect milk production.
5. Get enough rest: Get adequate rest to reduce stress levels and improve milk production.
6. Use a breast pump: Pumping between feedings has been known to increase milk production. Consider pumping after feedings and before bed.
7. Eat a balanced diet: Eating a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein can help to maintain and increase milk production.
