Should breastfeeding start immediately after birth (within an hour)?
Answer: YES.
It is easier to get breastfeeding started if you begin in the first hour after birth because a baby’s reflexes are very strong at that time.
The first hour after birth is a very important time for the mother and the baby. However, if you do not latch your baby on right after birth, do it as soon as possible in your situation.
Keeping babies against the mother’s skin can help them to be calm enough to start to seek the breast. Frequent skin-to-skin contact and putting your baby to the breast will help to get breastfeeding going.
