The Causes of Delayed Onset Milk Production
A First Baby: If you're having your first baby, you may experience a slight delay in your
milk production.
It could take up to the 5th day postpartum for a first time mother's breasts to fill up with milk.
With your next baby, your milk will most likely come in sooner.
A Difficult Delivery: long stressful labor, and a traumatic birth experience with the use of
anesthesia, pitocin, and an abundance of I! fluids, can slow down the production of breast
milk .
A Premature Delivery: lthough your body is capable of making breast milk by the end of
your second trimester, the early end of pregnancy, the stress of a premature delivery, and the
inability to breastfeed your preemie immediately after birth, can delay the production of your
milk.
A C-section: "ue to surgery, stress, pain, and the emotional factors associated with having a
cesarean section, it can take longer for your milk to come in.
A Poor atch: ny problems with your baby's ability to latch on and breastfeed can interfere
with the initiation of milk production. #ewborns with a tongue$tie, cleft lip%palate, or
neurological issues may not be able to latch on well. &r, if your nipples are flat, inverted or
very large, it may be more difficult to get breastfeeding started.
Diabetes: It may take longer for milk production to begin in diabetic mothers. his could bedue to a combination of reasons including hormonal issues, the high rate of c$sections in
diabetic mothers, premature delivery, and the separation of mom and baby at birth.
Other !ormonal "ssues: (others who have symptoms of hypothyroidism or )*&+ may
also take longer to make breast milk.
Obesity: eing overweight before conception, or gaining too much weight during pregnancy,
can interfere with the onset of your milk production after the delivery of your baby.
#etained Placental Fra$ments: When some of the placenta stays behind after childbirth, it
can prevent the hormone changes needed in your body for milk production to begin.
Theca utein Cysts: hese testosterone producing ovarian cysts can delay the onset of milk
production. hey normally go away on their own within a few weeks after childbirth. &nce
they resolve, the testosterone levels decrease allowing full milk production to begin.
