I often try to persuade mom to try the side lying position; maybe post op day 1. I do a lot of splinting of the abd. w/ folded bath blankets as the sometimes fit just right. I've even constructed a "table" of sorts out of bath blankets for the sitting mom to rest her breasts and the baby. I once saw a mom use the over bed table to BF and this is what gave me the idea. I also think if we go into these situations w/ a positive attitude; business as usual, the moms will stay more calm. I've been thinking of some sort of sling contraption.
