<< Is it common hospital policy/practice to not allow BFing in surgery or
recovery? Thanks in advance for any insight into this issue. >>
I think that all depends on the hospital....the one I primarily work at
encourages it, and another in the area does too. In fact, I had the pleasure
and privilege of acting as an labor coach/doula just last weekend for my
brother and his wife--who ended up with a C/S under general anaesthesia. The
staff was very short handed, and asked me "are you any good with
breastfeeding? Your sister-in-law should breastfeed as soon as she's able to
in the recovery room." I modestly responded that I thought I could handle it
(LOL) and would be delighted to--so there's one positive response, at least!
