Hello,
At our facility we have seen a number of c/s deliveries with vacuum being used. There does not seem to be a clear reason for why. I can not imagine there being any evidence based reason for this. We are concerned with this practice and its impact on babies and their ability to Breastfeed successfully. Does anyone have suggestions for research articles on the risks of vacuum extraction? Does anyone else encounter this at their facility?
