Soon after surgery we can latch baby. However, for me I cldnt do for long cz I was shivering intensely due to the after effect of epidural. A few hours later, the nurses wheeled baby into my room again to let me latch my boy. There was tiny bit of colostrum. For me I was unfortunately not making enough milk aft tt and baby had to stay in hosp aft my discharge due to jaundice so the hospital supplemented with formula during his stay.
