My UK colleagues who work in hospitals may want to comment on this,
but I don't see any delay in milk coming in with planned sections or
otherwise. Mothers are told here that it won't make any difference,
and that is certainly my experience from talking to mothers.

Of course it is essential for the mother to be with the baby all the
time, and for the first mother-baby contact to take place immediately
after birth, and for no separation to happen - this, I'm glad to say,
is now routine in most UK maternity units (unless there is a medical
problem, or if something else goes wrong with the management).

UK hospitals have got a long way to go, but in the treatment of
mothers and babies after section who want to bf, most are trying to
get it right :)
