Summary: The study shows that the difference in breastfeeding rates at 6 months between children delivered by caesarean section and vaginally is smaller for those with established breastfeeding at 2 months. Mothers who deliver by caesarean section are more likely to continue breastfeeding until at least 6 months if established early.

This study provides insight into respiratory behaviors that may indicate respiratory distress in full-term newborn infants.

Summary: A hypercaloric supplement containing vitamins and amino acids can be used as an alternative to glucose in hypoglycaemic puppies, providing nutritional benefits. Prepartum glycaemia of the dam is an important parameter to be measured and proper management can reduce the risk of puppies being born with hypoglycaemia.

Summary: Oral administration of maternal vaginal microbiota did not alter gut microbiome development in infants born by caesarean section; limited colonisation of maternal vaginal strains suggests other maternal sources, such as the perianal area, may play a larger role in seeding the neonatal gut microbiome.

Summary: This cohort study found that the use of epidural analgesia during labor in full-term nulliparous women undergoing vaginal delivery was associated with an increased risk of neonatal infection, supporting efforts to further improve safety and quality of labor and delivery care for parturient women.

Summary: The study observed a higher proportion of postpartum depression at 6 weeks among women who had caesarean delivery compared to those who had vaginal delivery, with women under the age of 25 having a higher risk of postpartum depression. However, there was no association between postpartum depression and income, education, occupation, or the sex of the newborn child.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the impact of maternal antibiotic treatment during pregnancy and/or C-section delivery on the development of the infant's intestinal microbiome. Samples from both mothers and/or infants will be collected for microbiome and metabolomic analysis, and the study will continue until the age of 2 to assess the long-term effects of these factors.

Summary: Birth by C-section has enduring effects on psychological processes in humans. Young adults born by C-section exhibit increased psychological vulnerability to acute stress and a prolonged period of stress. However, the effects on cognitive ability and gut microbiota are minimal.
