6w4d Can i get my milk supply back?

Question

I tried breastfeeding with my baby the first couple weeks but she wouldn’t take it because we had to give her formula first in the hospital due to me having a c section. But now I am starting to think she allergic to formula and she also has eczema so i’m wondering if there’s anyway to produce milk again ?

Answer

Pump on a schedule make sure you’re hydrated and eating right

Answer

putting baby to your breast will help. it’s supply and demand the more milk baby removes the more milk you will make. sometimes a pump wont get you anything bc baby is better at removing milk than a pump can. if you find your supply not increasing when pumping I would consider talking to a lactation consultant so they can help your baby latch

Answer

I don’t have any advice but I’m curious.. why could you not breastfeed because of the csection? I only ask because I had a csection and no one told me I couldn’t breastfeed?

Answer

My understanding is that supply is established in the first 2ish weeks postpartum, but I’m not sure. Maybe find a lactation consultant to work with.

Answer

Yes, you can definitely relax Tate. Look up power pumping & be diligent! You got it!
