This may have been asked before but...
Did you have any issues breastfeeding after your scheduled C/S? Did your milk come in soon after delivery?
I was induced with my first, labored for hours and ended up with a C/S and didn't have any issues breastfeeding. Just wondering if it's different with a scheduled C/S because the hormones aren't really flowing like they are with labor. Does that make sense?
Re: Breastfeeding after scheduled C/S
I had a scheduled C/S for breech presentation...
I was able to do skin to skin and breastfeed in the recovery room (30 minutes or so after he was born). This is dumb, but I was surprised there was colostrum there already (I had zero leaking during my pg), but apparently that's just how it works.
He was born early Thursday morning, milk came in with a vengeance (major engorgement issues) early Sunday morning.
With DS my milk came in about 4 days after the CS and had supply issues.
I have since found out that having thyroid problems (Hypo) can cause this.
Poor DS lost so much weight in hospital the Paedi was reluctant to allow us to leave.
Sometimes, I'm hilarious.
