How long does it take to start breastfeeding after caesarean section

Everyone knows that when a baby is born, he can only supplement his nutrition by drinking his mother's breast milk, because the baby has a familiar taste of his mother's breast milk. And the baby's stomach and intestines can only tolerate the mother's breast milk. Before drinking breast milk, there is a key step called milk production. Breastfeeding is a critical step. It not only allows the baby to drink the mother's breast milk to promote the mother's breast milk production, but also promotes the recovery of the mother's uterus. How long does it take for women who have undergone cesarean section to breastfeed?

Generally speaking, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the best time to start breastfeeding is within half an hour after birth. During this period, the baby can have the first mouthful of milk in his life. The baby's stimulation of the mother's breasts helps to secrete prolactin and produce enough milk, which is also helpful for the recovery of the mother's uterus.

However, many people do not think that 30 minutes after delivery is the best time to start lactating. Instead, they think that there is no milk at this time, so they do not let the baby suck. This is a very common misunderstanding in breastfeeding, which is not only common among the elderly but also among many young people, so you need to pay attention to it.

In the first few days of breastfeeding, new mothers feel that their breasts are not hard and do not have much milk, but when they see their babies crying with hunger, their hearts soften and they directly feed their babies with milk powder. In fact, this method is also very wrong. After the baby gets used to the bottle, it is easy for him to form an illusion about the nipple and may gradually reject the nipple. The less contact with the milk, the less stimulation for secretion, so a vicious circle is formed and the milk will become less and less.

Another misconception about lactation is that after a caesarean section, once you are able to eat, you are immediately served pig's trotter soup, crucian carp soup, and other soups with very high nutritional value. In fact, in the first few days or about a week after giving birth, it is best to eat a light diet and not eat too greasy food. Be careful not to block the milk ducts, which will reduce milk secretion.

The best time to breastfeed your baby is within half an hour after delivery. Don't miss it. At the same time, let your baby suck more after delivery, eat a light diet, and don't eat too greasy food. These methods will help to stimulate milk secretion and secrete a lot of milk.
