This is an observation that I have noticed as a Postpartum nurse.  The most 
successful mom/baby's after a c-section seem to be the ones where the mom is 
content to just snuggle with baby on her chest or to the side of her with 
her arm encircling baby most of the time, baby may be sleepy for the first 
day, but no worries, and when baby is interested baby is fed without regard 
to how long or often.  This is in contrast to the situation where mom is too 
afraid to hold baby much (or nurses warn against it or give the impression 
it is undesirable) so baby is mostly kept in the nursery or bassinet and 
there are only short times when baby is taken out to try to breastfeed.
