Breastfeeding and c-sections

Any one have this issue.I couldnt get my two other children to breastfeed after my c-sections due to them giving a botlle while i was in recovery and all the drugs they had me on.I really want to breast feed this time around!!I wonder any advice

I had a c section with my first child and didn't have a problem.  I don't think its because of them giving the baby formula while you were in recovery.  You shouldn't have been recovering for more than a few hours and a baby is not going to get hooked on formula after a few times of feeding.  Get with the lactating consultant at the delivery section in the hospital.  All hospitals have one and are there for you and the new bambino!! ;o)  Good luck!

I had two of them too, and I breastfeed.. I did have problems lataching on me, so I tricked the baby, I started with a bottle and popped it out and stuck my boob in while the baby was still looking, and never used a bottle again until 6 months.. I plan on breastfeeding this time too.. Make sure the nurses know ahead of time, they will get the baby to you asap, and wont feed them either, just to give them water..
