Yes, had this with my first and had a very successful breastfeeding journey!
Yes with my first! I never even tried yet because my c section was scheduled the following day due to breech and FGR. I was able to pump a tiny bit in the hospital post birth and my milk was in by the time I was sent home. No problems breastfeeding
I had not even a drop of milk until the 4th day after birth and then successfully breastfed until he hit 2yo. Dont worry too much ♥️ worrying makes milk stop as I have learned the hard way 😂
I never bothered collecting with my first and haven’t this time, I breast fed super well. I over produced tbh and had 2.5 full freezer drawers of breast milk 🤣🤣🤪
Yes I could never collect any but breastfed no problem 😃 x
Perfect, thanks everyone that’s very reassuring 😃
Yeah I’ve never managed to get any before baby came before but always managed to breastfeed. So don’t worry xx
I just tried massage in the first pregnancy, didn't collect anything. Did not have a c-section but milk came in just fine. The body knows when it's time, don't worry. Now in 2nd pregnancy I'm not even doing massages. I did try a manual pump the other day just to see how that looks for colostrum and let's just say I'm not worried about supply in this pregnancy either. Seriously don't stress it. The more you relax the better for you, your body and your little one.
Nothings coming out mine at all. I only stopped breastfeeding about 20 months ago aswell. It will all work once babies here x
I tried, didn't have enough time to collect colostrum, ended up with an emergency C-section and then harvested some colostrum in recovery with the help of a midwife. Winnie is breastfeeding well now but she was so tired the rest of the day after birth that the syringes were easier to feed her xx
Yes!
