Caesarean section and its possible negative for newborns

MUDr.Martin Gregora
Dětské oddělení, Nemocnice Strakonice

More studies confirm that Caesarean delivery influences negatively the gut microbiota development, and that the use of antibiotics, in

combination with Caesarean delivery impacts early infantile gut microbiota development. There is now solid evidence, through large-

-scale meta-analyses, that Caesarean delivery increases the risk for allergic diseases. There is new evidence that Caesarean delivery

increases the risk for auto-immune and chronic metabolic diseases such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus and even obesity.
