breastfeeding

How soon after giving birth do you want to start breastfeeding? Thanks for your comments ahead of time

I'm planning to breastfeed my little guy and I'm going to wait until he's all cleaned and been looked over and everything.
I'm guessing I'll need stitches, so I won't want to be holding him during that because I'm very sensitive to pain (felt the stitches with my first even after the nurse gave me the legal limit of anesthetic shots).
I'm hoping he'll be handed to his daddy before my stitches are done though so I can talk to the little guy and have a look at him.

Thanks with my first I think I ended up feeding Him a few hours later cut we had family coming in to the room right after and this time I want to wait a few hours to have visitors minus my SO and my son

I told my husband this time I don't want any visitors until I got the hang of it. With my first I tried but kept getting distracted and frustrated by visitors so I gave up!

With my son, I  tried to get him to latch on almost immediately after birth....After they had wipes him. I think it soothing for the baby after the experience of gog through the birth canal and all that. God bless!

Same for me. With my first they cleaned her up and then had her latch on right away.

With both of mine as soon as they were cleaned and given to me I started to feed them. They told me with my first I wanted to get started right away.

With my son they had to clear out his lungs right away while they stitched me up and then gave him to me he did get wiped off a bit but full bath afterwards

With all 3 of my girls the nurse cleaned them up after they came out and helped the baby latch on right away.
