I have a question. Why is it that Cesarean moms are encouraged to nurse
as soon as possible after delivery, yet other mothers with older babies
are told to pump and dump for anywhere from 4 hours to 48 hours? Just
considering it is your basic, one day surgery for anything: gall stones,
tonsillectomy, episiotomy repair or whatever. Are there different drugs
used during c/s that are safer in the newborn than other surgeries that
are less safe, even for older babies?
