Most of the C sections are done in our hospital under spinal anasthesia, so feeding breast milk is not a problem. We feed within one hour of birth the colostrum and in at risk neonate ( GDM on insulin, LGA or SGA babies etc) we monitor blood sugar. If mother has under gone C section under GA, then if at high risk, we feed them formula feed till mother is fully awake in feeding the baby. I hope this will help in solving your query

Thanks Rehman_Naveed ! In our hospital c sections are done by GA . And often there is no breast milk for one or two days. That's why it is very interesting for me that what are doing other neonatalogists .
