Abstract

Authors' conclusions: emergency and elective cesarean delivery are similarly associated with a decreased rate of exclusive breastfeeding compared with vaginal delivery.

Reviewers' commentary: we can say that there is sufficient evidence showing the negative effect of cesarean section on breastfeeding. Both pediatricians and neonatologists should discuss firmly with obstetricians the correct indications for cesarean section.
