1. c-section How soon after a c-section can a mom breastfeed? Do you have to worry about the anesthetics passing through the colostrum? >> Michelle: As soon as mom is sitting she can breastfeed If a mom has a general , she can bf as soon as she is awake.. there is no concern about the anesthetics. the disapate very quickly. hormonal contraceptives: progesterone only, depro, norplant... all carry a risk. USUALLY o.k. after 6 wks... there are ALWAYS an exception! -sorry- Patricia
