BF after csect

hello! congrats on your upcoming new arrival to the family! I would tell you first up not to worry too much and go with the flow ok? cause babies all react very differently and sometimes what you plan doesn’t necessarily go through.. 1) I think you can do both! usually how i like to do it is DL in the day and pump and bottle feed at night (so that my husband can help feed and I can rest at night) 2) the pain recovery process is very different for all. for me, I am a second time mum and I have had two csecs - I have had very smooth recoveries and they were all better by a week.. my pain threshold isn’t very high so I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the pain went away! most importantly, rest and do your best not to overstrain yourself.. don’t carry heavy stuff and just try to take it easy! take your painkillers prescribed by the gynae as those are BF friendly! 3) i pump every three hours - more diligent at the start. around 3 months or so I start to drag my night pumps so I get a bit more sleep.. so 3 hours throughout the day and my last pump at midnight till the next morning around 8-9am
