That’s true it happened to me after 7 days after my c section my milk came out so much I could produce 40ounces a day
We latched and fed colostrum straight away too. Milk came in 4 days later. I think that’s normal though? X
So you produce colostrum until your milk comes in which is usually around day 3/5 sometimes sooner sometimes later but until then the colostrum is more than enough. It’s once the placenta is delivered that triggers your body to start producing milk.
I couldn’t hve baby latch straight away and took me a whole day and a bit to produce colostrum in which I was having to just massage and put baby on the breast every like 20mins or so. Eventually managed a bit and used an electric breast pump in the hospital to help my supply and by day 3 we was producing an ounce which is more than enough per feed
Hello! Yes! I breastfed like 20-30 min after he was born (basically after they moved me from surgery room to the recovery room) and I luckily had a ton of milk, or colostrum at that point. I didn’t have any contractions really because it was a scheduled c section. But it didn’t affect my milk supply! I’m actually an over producer!
