Breastfeeding after cesarean delivery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of world literature

“…The full text was unobtainable for 3 studies (68)(69)(70). Of the remaining 100 studies, 47 were excluded for the following reasons: multiple reports of the same study population (32,(71)(72)(73)(74), selective study population (including studies in which all women intended to breastfeed) (32,40,58,64,(75)(76)(77)(78)(79), only qualitative data reported (43,80,81), or no suitable data on breastfeeding reported . The remaining 53 studies were included in the systematic review ( Table 1).…”

“…Six studies (12,40,45,56,124,133) included only primiparous women. A random-effects meta-regression showed that the OR for early breastfeeding in these studies was not significantly different from the OR for studies that included all women (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.65, 1.99; P = 0.64).…”

A threefold increase in gestational diabetes over two years: Review of screening practices and pregnancy outcomes in Indigenous women of Cape York, Australia
