Nursing and a csection

I'm getting ready to have my second csection tomorrow. Last time I did go thru labor, but due to complications, i had a csection.  This time around, we decided it would be best to just do a csection, and while I'm a bit nervous, I'm also wondering how that will affect my milk production.

I've had 2 c-sections and exclusively breastfed both my kids no problem, my milk supply was great, had so much I had to freeze what they weren't eating bc I had to pump.

I just had my third baby via c-section and haven't had a problem being able to breastfeed with any of them. Make sure they know you want to breastfeed  and get baby to breast as soon as you can.

Thanks, I've been leaking a little all thru my pregnancy, so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

I have had two C-Sections and was able to breast feed fine. I heard some women make less milk which I prob did but there are some things you cando to increase your milk pproduction. I would talk to the lactating specialist. You should be fine. Best of luck to you
