Breast pumping

Hello mum’s!

I had c section in June 17th and due to complications, I had stopped breathing pumping shortly after post partum. The last day I pumped was June 21st and it’s now been five days since I pumped. I was admitted into emergency and of course we didn’t bring our pump. I feel much better now and would like to know if my milk production will come back if I start pumping again? Or am I completely doomed now that I’ve stopped for 5 days? I was just starting to get some clear liquid on the last day of my pump.

It’s probably a silly question and all I can do is try but wanted to see if there’s promising stories of milk coming back? I won’t be able to feed my baby the milk yet if it does come back as I have been pretty drugged up with morphine and and antibiotics at the hospital.
It’ll be a pump and dump situation but I do want to breastfeed my baby once I can be discharged and well.

Thank you all mums in advance.

I'd look up relactation on Kellymom. It's possible to relactate but it can be difficult and gets harder to longer you leave it.

Best to post this in the infant feeding section op - there are loads of resources on relactating online and I’m sure someone knowledgeable will be along soon!

Yes kellymom is an amazing evidence based site. The national breastfeeding helpline should also be able to help

For advice about whether you are ok to feed you can look at the drugs in breast milk info supplied by the breast feeding network. They have a pharmacist Wendy I believe who is an expert in this area

Have a look at Lucy Ruddle on facebook. She is a lactation consultant but specialises in relactation. Good luck! X
