Cesarean Section and Breastfeeding Outcomes By Angeliki Antonakou and Dimitrios Papoutsis, Submitted: December 7th 2020Reviewed: February 16th 2021 Published: April 12th 2021,
Conclusion- We found that when controlling for socio-demographic and labor and delivery characteristics, planned c-section is associated with early breastfeeding cessation. Anticipatory guidance around breastfeeding could be provided to women considering a planned c-section. As well, additional supportive care could be made available to lactating women with emergency c-sections, within the first 24 hours post birth and throughout the early postpartum period.

Effect of cesarean section on initiation of breast feeding: Findings from 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey, Getnet Gedefaw ,Martha H. Goedert ,Eskeziaw Abebe ,Asmamaw Demis ,Published: December 18, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0244229
Conclusion- Cesarean delivery adversely affects the initiation of breast feeding. Cesarean delivery, unplanned pregnancy, and being primiparous, were associated with late initiation of breastfeeding. Women between the ages of 20?34 years of age had a reduced chance of late initiation of breastfeeding. Providing counseling regarding the strategy and importance of early initiation of breast feeding, could have crucial importance for the mother and her newborn.
