Will milk supply be ruined by a c section?

Question

Answer

Absolutely not. My first was an emergency csection and I had an over supply with her plus milk coming in on day 2/3

Answer

Nope! My lactation consultant warned that my milk may come in a day or two later than it would have with a vaginal birth. It came in 4/5 days after birth

Answer

It can contribute to a delay in milk supply but not necessarily what your supply can be. My scheduled csection delayed my milk but i was still an overproducer in the beginning

Answer

That was my fear with my first. I had an emergency c section and had no issues BFing.

Answer

Nope. I had three csections and never really struggled to breastfeed. With my first I didn't have a lactation consultant so I did things wrong and had to stop at 3 months. But with my second and third I did have amazing advice and I breastfed them for 17 and 13 months. 
Going to have another csection in three days and I'm going to breastfeed for a year again. Maybe longer. Will see how it goes. But I've already been collecting colostrum and there's already lots of it. 
The milk comes in at the same time as after natural labour too. Mine always came in 3days after csection. Before then baby drinks colostrum which is already there during pregnancy.

Answer

I had a scheduled c-section with baby #1 and my milk came in earlier than average (2 days pp, usually it’s 3-5 days pp). And I breastfed for 14 months with zero issues.

Answer

Not at all. First was a C-section ebf for 2 years!

Answer

Thank you both!
