[Impact of mode of delivery on the weight kinetics of the breastfed infant]

Abstract

In various studies, the introduction of infant formulas during the stay in the maternity ward has been shown to increase the risk of breastfeeding failure and the development of cow's milk protein allergy. How can they be avoided when the infant loses weight in an "abnormal" way? A team from the Polyclinique Majorelle, in Nancy, studied the impact of the mode of delivery on the weight of the newborn in order to improve its accompaniment while respecting the real needs and rhythms of each child.
