I should reread before responding! I only looked at the body, not
the subject.  Certainly moms can nurse after a section.  The vast
majority of ours have epidural or spinal morphine so can nurse very
soon-usually as soon as the stitching is done and she's moved to
recovery as long as baby is OK.  In those cases where it was a
"crash" section or the epidural didn't "take" and mom had a general,
the guidelines I mentioned apply.
