Breastfeeding After a Cesarean Birth
Learn the different types of holds; I can't remember all of their names but the traditional hold in front of me would hurt my incision. But the football hold (off to the side) and learning to lay and feed really helped.
QueenofSpain: I found the nurses tend to push you into the football hold after the C. Of course try, but if its not comfortable, don't be afraid to use the hold you like best. With pillows and the dressing on your incision (and the pain meds) you really won't feel the pressure of that tiny bundle on your belly. Trust me. So go ahead and lay the baby across you. Don't be afraid.
