re: C-sections, formula feeding, and... autism?

Quoting meggymama:" i was thinking more that mecc and distress/complications resulting in an emergency section may need ... [snip!] ... section may need to be looked at differently as they would have their own effects? its hard t o explain what im thinking "

No, I see what you're saying. I think this is a fairly new study so we will probably hear more in the coming years... they will fine tune it.

Quoting .Colleen.:" Ah now autism is bacterial ok"

Who knows? Maybe.

I don't really think its relevant. I think the point is that c sections may be linked to these things, I doubt the motive for having one influences anything. A c section is a c section.

Although, like I said previously this all seems to be very speculative still and it's important to remember that although they may have found a correlation between a and b, correlation does not equal causation. They are jur trying to peak interest in the possibility because interest equals funding for further research and more research/information is never a bad thing.

Quoting Asher's mommy [Expecting :" Not only did I feel smurffy about having to have an emergency C-Section because I felt like it made me ... [snip!] ... Oh wait... they didn't even check on that yet... they just have a "hunch." This could very well mean absolutely nothing. "

That's how I feel too!

Quoting MommaSav2:" <blockquote><b>Quoting meggymama:</b>" Foes this take into accout the number of babies ... [snip!] ... in the possibility because interest equals funding for further research and more research/information is never a bad thing."

Very true. I think these are interesting finds and I'm eager to learn more. I never thought of correlating c-sections with... anything, really.

Agreed.

Quoting bbbt:" Who knows? Maybe. "

so just toss out all those studies that indicated genetics?

Quoting .Colleen.:" so just toss out all those studies that indicated genetics?"

I don't think they're tossing out anything with this, it's just some new findings.  

they want something to blame autism on ( and anything else, that is caused by no one knows what). I know a few kids with autism. One was a c-section, never vaccinated. One was a home birth, non vacs and my friends son has asburgers ( sp?) and was a hospital vag birth and I has had vacs.

Well, it's not just autism. It's also cancer, obesity... and did they say diabetes too? All because of the bacteria in their guts.

I can see it being linked to dietary issues like type 2 diabetes, etc., but like everyone else said, there's a ways to go before they can link it to anything like mental disorders like autism. It almost sounds like they linked it to autism just so that it would get more notice.

Want your medical article to be read? ..Link it to cancer or autism or both.

i know fat bottle fed adults and fat bf adults. search enough and you can find the "answer" you want.

Okay... this is just a new study...

Oh good.
Being born vaginally will cancel out the formula feeding.

Well there ya go.
