If you had a c-section, when did your milk come in?

I have a c-section scheduled for tomorrow and my doctor said it shouldn't interfere with my milk coming in or breast feeding. What have been your experiences if you had a c? TIA

I'll be joining you all very soon!

    Day 3!  He was fine on colostrum till then, no latching problems or anything.

    Good luck - I loved my c-section!  Had a fabulous recovery, was walking around fine on day 2, and I had no problems bonding with Liam, or breastfeeding!

    I had an unplanned c-section and I EP.  When I was in the hospital I started pumping 24 hours after my c-section and I had a good supply.  I think my milk fully came in about 4-5 days later.

    Loved mine too! Mine came in on day 3 1/2 to 4.  I delivered him Tuesday at 5:00p.m.  Woke up Saturday, soaked.

    On day two. I brought mother's milk tea to drink after delivery; don't know if that helped or not, but it definitely didn't hurt! 

    Good luck!

    about 5 days- and my c-section wasn't scheduled- it was decided after 12 hours of labor and determining baby was too big to come out the other way.
