I was told several times that it was 'not possible' at my hospital in the ACT but I persisted in asking for it every time I saw one of the Obs, and wrote it prominently into my (one page) birth plan. It was the single most important thing I wanted and for that reason it was bolded. Even moments before I was taken into theatre they were saying to me, no we can't do that, we're too busy today (two lots of twins coming out in 2 other theatres at the same time) but in the end, the theatre midwife made it happen. Probably because I kept talking and kept asking and it was clear how important it was to me. Skin to skin in theatre, and then she stayed with me in recovery so I could BFeed my baby there.

So good luck with finding a hospital with this as a standard model, but really in any breastfeeding friendly hospital you should be able to insist upon the same, because it relates to point number 4, establishing breastfeeding as soon after birth as possible. Good luck
