Did you happen to talk to your surgeon about breastfeeding? He may be able to tell you if the tissue or milk ducts have been removed, if they are intact still you should be able to produce!!! I hope it works out for you, just remember that ANY milk your lil one gets is soo beneficial! They call it liquid gold for a reason, even if you are only able to give your baby colostrum that is just perfect, so don't be too hard on yourself if you can't produce because of the surgery!!! Goodluck mama 😄
I helps a bit, but it's not a miracle cure lol best way to increase supply is to feed often and on demand, both breasts at each feeding. Nurse the baby at the breast not with a pump and bottle because pumps do not stimulate the breast the same way as the baby does, and remember that the more the baby eats, the more it is telling your body to produce. If you let your breasts stay "full" feeling for too long, that will tell your body you don't need to produce as much. Also, if your baby is newborn, you will only have colostrum for 2 to 5 days, somtimes longer before your milk actually "comes in", and colostrum is all your baby needs in the first few days of life!!! It is VERY high in nutrients and your baby's tummy is very tiny, which is also why they "cluster feed", which means they feed often at the breast and may seem like they are constantly hungry. This is all completely NORMAL! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to message me! Same goes for @tattoomom3 as well 😊
