Latching a baby while lying down (after C-section)

Shema N

I?m having a repeat scheduled C-section and want to know how I can latch a baby while I?m either lying flat on my back following surgery, or lying on my side.

I have found information about POSITIONING for a side lying position but not really clear on how exactly I or someone assisting me can LATCH the baby, especially if I?m on my back which I anticipate I?ll be in the first few hours.

Also, do I have to worry about the baby getting drugs/anesthesia through my breast milk in those first few hours?

I?ll appreciate any input you have!
