With DD1, she did not latch very well after my emergency c-section. I remember her losing more than 10% of her body weight and making me pump and threatened to supplement in the hospital. It finally came in on day 3 or 4, I think, and we had a great nursing relationship afterwards.
DD2 arrived yesterday via RCS, Shaand she latched on right away and has been going to town every 2ish hours. It's all colostrum at this point, but I am hoping I get the goods in soon. She's already lost 6oz of weight and is starting to seem hungry for more.
Just curious how quick your milk came in after your surgery?

"If we weren't all crazy we would go insane."
I just had my son on Wednesday and my milk started coming in Friday during the day. It was a bi*ch getting him to feed the first day or so and I ended up having to supplement 10mL of formula one night because he just wasn't getting enough. Now, however, I'm writing this post waiting to go to the nursery for his next feeding (he's having his heart rate monitored overnight) and after I'm done feeding, I'm going to come back and pump. My milk has been coming in like crazy now!
Good luck to everyone!
