what do you eat after giving birth?

For mommies out there: if you just delivered and want to breastfeed but realised you have no milk, what do you eat to boost milk? Will the lactation consultant be invited to see u or...? (To note: this is when u are in hospital)

first few days your milk will be very minimal, u can request for LC to come see you if you’re struggling, first 2 days were hell as i didn’t really have any milk & baby won’t latch properly, i supplemented with formula for 3 days till my milk came in around day3/4 & i was only able to pump 20-30ml per 30min session, now on day 9 i am pumping about 170-210ml per 20-30min session(i’m exclusively pumping). you can try to pump while you’re in hospital too to stimulate milk supply!
