In this episode of Baby Tribe, we take on one of the most discussed and often misunderstood topics in neonatal care: the association between cesarean sections and infant outcomes. With so much information floating around, especially on social media, it’s easy to get caught up in myths and misconceptions about the impact of C-sections on newborn health.

We delve into both the short-term and long-term outcomes for babies born via cesarean delivery, exploring the latest research and providing a balanced, evidence-based perspective. From concerns about respiratory issues to potential links with conditions like allergies and autism, we’re here to shed light on what the science really says.

Join us as we debunk common myths and help you understand the true implications of cesarean sections, empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions or simply gain a deeper understanding of this critical aspect of neonatal care.
