    E27. What Nobody Tells You About Breastfeeding After a Cesarean Section

    Nobody told you the milk might take longer to come in. Nobody told you that the golden hour might look different than you planned. Nobody told you that major abdominal surgery and the hormonal cascade of birth are deeply connected — and that bypassing one affects the other. In this episode, Dr. Ashley Robinson — IBCLC, doctor of public health, and certified labor doula — gets personal about her own cesarean section experience and breaks down everything you need to know about breastfeeding after a cesarean. We cover the hormonal biology behind delayed milk coming in, how to advocate for skin-to-skin in the OR, what your support person and doula can do in that operating room, and a practical preparation checklist for planned cesarean families. And for the parent whose cesarean section was not the plan — this episode has a segment just for you. Because your birth was not a failure. And your breastfeeding story is not over. 🌟 Also — big news! I have been a little MIA from the podcast lately because I have been building something I am incredibly excited about. It is called FirstDays — a baby tracking app designed specifically with breastfeeding families in mind. Track feeds, diapers, sleep, and growth all in one place, built by an IBCLC who actually understands what matters in those early days. Available now on the Apple App Store. 🔗 linktr.ee/drrobinsonibclc 📍 Book a virtual consult: ashleyrobinsonibclc.com 📱 FirstDays App: firstdaysapps.com 📖 The Supportive Partner — available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and anywhere you buy books.
