Researchers led by Yale University Child Study Centre Assistant Professor James Swain recruited two groups of parents from post birth wards.
One group of 12 mothers belonged to the caeserean section and the other delivered vaginally. All women were interviewed and given brain scans two to three weeks after birth.
During brain scans, parents listened to recordings of their baby's cry during discomfort of a diaper change. The researchers then conducted interviews to assess the mothers' mood as well as their thoughts and parenting.
The team found that compared to mothers who delivered by caeserean, those who delivered naturally had greater activity in certain brain regions in response to their own baby's cry.
Is it so?.But I fear what would be the reaction of mothers delivered babies by Cesarean after reading through the study. :) .Thanks for sharing the results of the study,Deepti. :)
This difference may be because delivering a child naturally involves the pulsatile emotion. Research has shown that in mothers who have natural childbirth, babies are naturally bonding more
