Is C-section bad for babies' immunity?

Is Caesarean section bad for babies' immunity? Well, a new study has suggested that the children delivered by Caesarean section (C-section) may have lower immunity than the children born by natural birth.

 The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen.
During the study the researchers scrutinized the impact of birth on the development of the immune system of newborn mouse pups.
The researchers found that pups which took birth as a result of Caesarean section have got a lower number of cells that strengthen the immune system, said Camilla Hartmann Friis Hansen, Assistant Professor at the Department of Veterinary Disease Biology.
A Caesarean section is used to define a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through the abdomen and uterus of a woman to deliver one or more babies. It is sometimes done to remove a dead fetus.
The C-section is recommended by the doctors in cases where the baby cannot be delivered through a normal vaginal delivery. This is likely to happen when the woman has twins (or triplets etc), a breach delivery is expected (baby is descending legs first instead of the head), the baby is large, there is some problem with the uterus or a placenta previa is detected.
Caesareans are of two types: the lower-segment caesarean section or LSCS and the older classical section. In an LSCS, the incision is placed at the lower end of uterus and this incision has many advantages both during the surgery and for post-operative recovery. The doctors perform C-section under the effect of an epidural or spinal anaesthesia.
