Dear Friends:
    This article for continuing education of physicians  actually lists 
'failure to breastfeed' as a risk to the newborn of cesarean  section!

(http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/512946_4)

    "Failure to Breastfeed. A  meta-analysis of 9 studies found that babies 
delivered by cesarean were less  likely to be breastfed compared with those who 
were delivered vaginally, and  this effect seemed to be stronger for those 
delivered by unplanned  cesareans.[28] Another study of more than 580,000 women 
in California  found that mothers who underwent planned or unplanned cesarean 
deliveries were  nearly twice as likely to have breastfeeding difficulties 
compared with those  who delivered vaginally.[35]"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There is a test question about the complications of  cesarean section 
that gives 'failure to breastfeed' as an answer.
    Maybe physicans are getting the message?
    Nice to hope so....
    warmly,
