C section and baby allergies poll

[Rubiales678]

Hi just very curious to know anecdotally if there are others who had c sections and their baby ended up having cows milk protein allergy (CMPA) or other allergies not in the family.
Did you have a c section? Yes /no
Does your baby have any allergies? Yes/no
Do you have a family history of allergies?
Did your baby grow out of allergies if they had any?

Thanks for any responses!

I had a csection and ds has no allergies. I have an allergy to aspirin but I had this prior to ds birth.

Vaginal birth.
Ds had cmpa and eczema.
No history of either in the family.
Ds hasn’t had an eczema flare up since about 8 months. He’s now 3, so hoping he’s out grown it.
We successfully completed the milk ladder at 18 months, and have had no CMPA issues since.

1 child
1 c section
Multiple allergy’s
No immediate family history
Grown out of most at nearly 7 years old

One child, c section, no allergies.

C section - yes

Both breastfeed for over a year each (one of the many reasons I breastfed, and for so long - reduces the likelihood of developing allergies and eczema)

Emergency c section
Allergic to dairy, egg, dog hair, car hair, dust mites and mustard. 😞

Vaginal birth.
Dd had CMPA, I had to give up dairy as was EBF. She also reacted to coconut.
Aged 3 now, she can manage cooked milk and small amounts of uncooked dairy but still gets eczema occasionally. Coconut seems ok now.
I’m allergic to dust and pet fur and we have a family history of coeliac disease.

Two c sections.

1 child is lactose intolerant and 1 is CMPI.

There is history of lactose intolerance in DH's family.

Both children (now 6 and 7) have got to step 7 on the 12 step milk ladder and stalled.

Vaginal birth. Daughter has CMPA with epipen. Age 12 not grown out of it.

My brother and I both born via CS we both have allergies, mainly hay fever. My children both have CMPA and soya allergy, eldest born via CS also had egg allergy. Youngest was vbac.
We have a strong family history of allergies. My dad has hay fever and a maternal aunt had CMPA diagnosed as a baby in the 1950s! Neither were born by CS.
I did read somewhere years ago that people with allergies don’t tend to get internal parasites so from an evolutionary point of view allergies can be useful.

I was born by c section. Serious nut allergy with epipen. No other family history of allergies.

My brother was also c section however and has no allergies although has always had severe eczema.
