“…Similar to our study, other studies declared also that mothers who had cesarean birth experienced more breastfeeding problems compared to those that had vaginal birth. 17,[21][22][23][24] In the study by Zanardo et al, 25 in which the ratio of breastfeeding was compared in cesarean and normal birth, the authors declared that breastfeeding ratio was lower in cesarean birth. Additionally to common problems seen after the cesarean surgery, inability to have an appropriate position for breastfeeding is another preventive factor to start breastfeeding in the early period.…”

Introduction:Breastfeeding is nutritious and has physiological benefits regarding the immunological aspect; also, it has an important role on maternal attachment and on raising a healthy baby. Objective: Our study was conducted to analyze maternal attachment and breastfeeding behaviors in the immediate postpartum period of mothers who had vaginal and cesarean birth. Method: This descriptive and comparative study was conducted with women who sought the childbirth clinic of a university hospital in Izmir, Turkey. In the study, 175 mothers were attended; 83 of them had vaginal birth and 92 had cesarean birth. Data were collected by using Demographic Identification Form, Maternal Attachment Inventory and LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Score Tool. Descriptive and correlational statistics were used for data analysis. Results: We found that Maternal Attachment Inventory and the LATCH breastfeeding charting system of mothers that had vaginal birth was higher than that of mothers who had cesarean delivery. There was a positive correlation between Maternal Attachment Inventory and LATCH total score average for both cesarean and vaginal birth. Conclusion: Mothers who delivered their babies by cesarean section had problems related to maternal attachment and breastfeeding more often than those who delivered vaginally.

“…Mothers who have undergone cesarean delivery may be more likely to experience illness or pain after delivery, potentially affecting the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding or even a perception of reduced breast milk supply. [21][22][23][24] A substantial body of literature has demonstrated the association between early breastfeeding and decreased rates of physical and mental health child difficulties. 21,22,24 It is possible that lower rates of breastfeeding after cesarean delivery may result in child overweight/obesity.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Concerns have been raised about associations between cesarean delivery and childhood obesity and asthma. However, published studies have not examined the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes or fully addressed confounding influences. We used data from the LSAC (Longitudinal Study of Australian Children) to explore the relationship between cesarean delivery and physical and socio-emotional outcomes from 0 to 7 years, taking into account confounding factors.

“…Cesarean delivery has been associated with decreased breastfeeding initiation in multiple studies, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] while in other studies the association is less clear and may not be a factor. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Many factors may influence a mother's decision to breastfeed. Besides known biological factors such as parity, mode of delivery, body mass index (BMI), smoking, breast or nipple abnormalities, surgery, illness, anxiety, and stress, there are behavioral factors that are equally as important.…”

Objective: This study compared breastfeeding initiation following repeat cesarean delivery, successful vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), and unsuccessful trial of labor. Subjects and Methods: We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study of Ohio births (2006)(2007) with a previous cesarean delivery. The primary outcomes were breastfeeding initiation rates among women with a previous cesarean delivery. Breastfeeding initiation rates were compared among three different delivery types: repeat cesarean delivery, successful VBAC, and unsuccessful trial of labor. Sociodemographic factors, medical risk factors, and pregnancy-related risk factors were also compared to assess influence on breastfeeding initiation rates. Results: Women delivered by successful VBAC were 47% more likely to initiate breastfeeding than women delivered by scheduled repeat cesarean (adjusted relative risk 1.47; 95% confidence interval 1.35, 1.60). Women who ultimately delivered by cesarean section with unsuccessful trial of labor were also more likely to breastfeed than women with a scheduled repeat cesarean section (61% vs. 58.7%, respectively) (adjusted relative risk 1.17; 95% confidence interval 1.04, 1.33). Conclusions: Patients who undergo a scheduled repeat cesarean delivery are less likely to initiate breastfeeding. Women who attempt and succeed in achieving vaginal birth after a previous cesarean section are more likely to breastfeed than are women who deliver by repeat cesarean section. Also, those women who ultimately deliver by cesarean section after an unsuccessful trial of labor were also more likely to breastfeed than those women with a scheduled repeat cesarean section. This suggests there are influences on patient choice for delivery that also may influence the patient's decision to breastfeed.
