Hi,

Practically, the milk secretion is less post-C section. Take good diet. Get the baby closure to nipple number of times a day which stimulates the secretion. You may take asparagus, rice water, cumin, water chest nut etc., to enhance milk secretion. There are some medicines also but try these simple treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
