Nervous fathers-to-be could be more of a hindrance than a help in the delivery room, experts warn. Anxious men pass on their fears to mothers giving birth by Caesarean section, researchers from the University of Bath and Imperial College London found. Their anxiety increased the pain experienced by women immediately after the operation, which in turn could affect their recovery and influence the success of breastfeeding and parent-child bonding. The study suggested that fathers should be prepared, both at antenatal classes and before the operation, to help reassure their partners about the procedure. One in four babies born in Britain is now delivered by Caesarean section.

“There may be long term risks of caesareans we’ve not considered before,” says Sidylle Koletzko, of the Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany. “I would discourage them for all non-medical reasons.” Researchers say that such births may be a factor in the rise in cases of asthma and allergies. A study of 865 babies who were all exclusively breastfed for the first 4 months showed digestive problems and was more likely to develop food intolerance. According to New Scientist, “the explanation might be that babies born by Caesarean do not get a chance to swallow beneficial bacteria during birth, colonisation of the gut plays a key role in the development of the immune system.”
