Babies born by C-section more likely to be obese as adults – study

Babies born by caesarean section are more likely to be obese as adults, according to a study that suggests the way we are born could have a lasting impact on health.Birth by caesarean was linked to a 15 per cent higher risk of obesity in children compared with vaginal birth.The scientists involved believe that babies born by caesarean miss out on exposure to bacteria in the birth canal that colonise the baby's gut and may ultimately change the body's metabolic rate – and even how hungry we feel.
