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-
