Maternal perceptions of breastfeeding difficulty after caesarean section with regional anaesthesia: A qualitative study.

CONCLUSION: Key recommendations included increasing skin to skin contact after caesarean section to support the natural instincts of mother and baby, increasing education on possible effects of surgical delivery on breastfeeding and increasing postnatal breastfeeding support for this group of women. Broader issues of inadequate staffing and a changing postnatal dynamic reflecting increased post-surgical care need further exploration. PMID: 26516036 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
