My husband likes the statement that "bf should be as cozy for you as it 
is for the baby snuggled in your lap."

Also, I see many women who have groggy babies, and they need to be 
prepared to hand express a little colostrum to get them going, as well 
as just being informed that drugs in labor can lead to a groggy baby, so 
that they aren't shocked and frightened by it, or talked into 
supplementing.
