You should check hospital policies in case u decide one hospital is better suited to you if you have the ability to choose.
The hospital I gave birth at was wonderful. At least I think so. I even had my nurse come in the morning b4 my c-section b4 my ob arrived and told me I dont have to do anything i dont want and if i didnt feel comfortable telling my dr something she would advocate for me. My nurses were wonderful and so were my ob and anesthesiologist. they made sure i knew exactly what was happening and why.
However the hospital policy is no babies in recovery because it is just across the hall from the OR. normally c-section recovery is about 45 min, though i was in there an hour and a half cuz of my blood pressure. They bring the baby out to you when you pass the nursery so you can hold him for the first time, then he has to go back to the nursery until they make sure he is holding his temp on his own for 30 min b4 bringing him to your room.
I can tell you though that if you have a c-section and cant breastfeed right away, it does NOT mean he wont breastfeed well, and it does not mean you will not bond as well with your baby. My hospital has a great lactation staff. they help you the first time, and you can call anytime during the day for help. they check on you once a day while your in the hospital and call you after you get home. You can call and go in to get help even after you are home, and they have weight checks every monday you can go in and talk to an LC.
they also dont give formula to breastfeeding only, and wont give pacifiers if you say not to. just make sure it is written on the card in the baby's bassinet.
I guess some hospitals aren't as good about these things. So I would definitely tour the hospitals you have as options b4 deciding which one to go to.
