Infant, born by cesarean section: possible health risks and opportunities to mitigate them

Abstract

The article comprises some of modern scientific literature review, dedicated to potential health risks for infants, born by cesarean section without medical indications. Possible mechanisms of such risks are discussed along with strategies to mitigate them - with a focus on the importance of optimal nutrition from birth.

Keywords:cesarean section, risks for infant, immune-mediated diseases, gut microbiota, infant nutrition, human milk oligosaccharides
