Monica, I can only speak for what we do in our hospital. Our policy is to
initiate breastfeeding in the recovery room after c-section in all cases
unless the baby's condition / mother's condition precluded breastfeeding.
Otherwise, we do encourage breastfeeding post c-section the way we do with
vaginal births.
