successfully breastfeeding after a c-section

I am just curious how many moms successfully breastfed after their c-section.  I breastfed my first for 20 months so its very important to me.

My first was hard to latch my second latched right away within the thirty mins after I came back to the room. It all depends on the baby. You will have lots of help and willdo great :). I have had two c sections and my oldest bf till he was two.

Just had my c section last week. Took a couple tries the first day.  Mostly on my end.  If anything,  I was the groggy one after because of the morphine they gave in the surgery and then the benadryl I got after lol.  My baby girl was fully active and awake for breastfeeding.

How hard was it in the beginning?  My daughter came out looking for the breast so we a very easy start. So I am nervous that this baby will be too groggy if I were to end up with a c-section.  This is all hypocritical at this point I am just worried about the what if lol
