C-sections at Vassar brothers in Poughkeepsie

We are currently pregnant with our third child.  This will be our first time delivering at Vassar brothers in Poughkeepsie.  We are having a repeat c-section.  I have heard some positive and some negative things about their care for newborns after a c-section.  I've heard things like the baby is kept away from the mother for several hours after the c-section and that they won't let you breastfeed in recovery which has taken hours and fathers not allowed to be with the baby during the bath/shots/etc. I'm trying to calm my nerves but I need to hear real stories and experiences.

 So,  What was your c-section like at Vassar? How long before you were reunited with the baby?  Please be honest because I need to prepare!

    I didn't have a c-section but my first was born at Vasser and we LOVED it there. Honestly, I've never heard a negative thing about them. The rooms are great, wonderful view from each one, a buffet meal for you and the dad three times a day.

    And the nurses were AMAZING. My husband got to be in the room when they bathed her. And they are very pro-breastfeeding there so I really can't imagine they would NOT let you. They have wonderful LCs on staff there too. Have you done a tour there? They are really informative and could probably answer all your questions and calm your nerves.
