I had an emergency c-section, 1 week before my dute date. I hadnt been leaking anything either, but I have been breastfeeding for 9 weeks now. It did take a few days for the milk to really come in, but since then I have had no problems getting enough. (And Ihave a 14 pound boy who eats a ton!) So don`t worry, just let your body do its thing.

I didnt have a c section but I never leaked or was able to squeeze anything out until after I had the baby. She is a month old and I am still bf so everything is going good.... my friend had her baby 2 days after me and had a c section and she never leaked anything either and she is still breastfeeding. I think you will be fine. Just don`t give up trying, I had to give her formula and try bf for the first few days cause she wouldnt latch on. Good Luck

i dont think its the same thing but my baby was early and my milk hadnt come in yet.. he wouldnt latch on either so i pumped and pumped and pumped until it finally came out. it will come in,, just keep baby on breast or pump constantly. good luck!

my friend had a c-section and she was able to breastfeed for atleast a month. i didnt have a c-section and i just chose to stop breastfeeding after about 6weeks. i had only leaked 1x before i had my son-it does come natural. just make sure you tell your drs` that you are breastfeeding so they dont give him a bottle right away.

(()) Whether you leak or not has no bearing on whether or not you will be able to BF and have enough milk. Some leak prior to delivery and some after ~ And both successfully BF. If you dont have enough milk even a week after delivery it will not have anything to do with a C section or if you leaked prior to delivery ~ ((()))

As soon as you start breast feeding your body responds, they should make you feed even when the baby is not asking for food as it will help stimulate the milk flow, The bodt was not quite ready for birth when given a c-section so sometimes it can take a little longer than if you had already gone into labour. However you should not have any problem, just feed as often as you can and soon the milk will flow perfectly. If you have any other questions regarding your c-section let me know I have had 2 and getting a 3rd this fall... you will be fine
