Can I still breastfeed if I had a C-section?

Yes, absolutely. It might take a little extra patience and positioning, especially if your incision area is sore, but you can 100% breastfeed after a C-section.

Try laid-back or football hold to avoid pressure on your belly. Skin-to-skin right after birth (if possible) also helps kickstart things.

Recovery can be tough, so take it easy. You just had major abdominal surgery and became a mom. That’s superhero-level stuff right there.
