Researchers discovered that mothers who breast-fed their babies for at least 2 months after undergoing a cesarean section (C-section) were less likely to experience pain at the surgical site than those who breast-fed for less than two months.
Dr. Berenjeno and colleagues discovered this by analyzing the data of 185 mothers who underwent a C-section between January 2015 and December 2016.
In the 24 hours after their C-section, the mothers were interviewed about their levels of chronic pain at the surgical site, as well as their breast-feeding practices and the presence of anxiety during breast-feeding.
Interviews were conducted again within 72 hours of C-section and at 4 months after. Breastfeeding was taken
up by 87 percent of the mothers, and 58 percent of these breast-fed their babies for at least 2 months.
About 11.4 percent of mothers reported experiencing chronic pain after C-section. Researchers discovered that
the rate of chronic pain was higher among mothers who breast-fed for a shorter duration.
