Adverse effects of caesarean section on babies include difficult adaptation to extrauterine life, reduced gut microbiome diversity, altered immune system development & increased risk of developing asthma and allergies.Gut dysbiosis can also lead to increased incidence of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children (infantile colic, gastroesophageal reflux, functional constipation and abdominal pain), as well as increased gut permeability, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased fat accumulation, lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
