Breastfeeding mamas

Sam
Hey mamas, this is a question for ladies that have already had their babes, how soon after you had your baby did you try to get them to latch and start feeding? I've read a few different things; some say to immediately try once they lay them on your chest, others say to wait 30-45 min or so and then try. I am planning on getting an epidural (no negative comments please) has this affected anyone with trying to feed? Any input is great!
