Children born through natural child birth are more intelligent than children born through cesarean. Is this statement true?

Answer:

Hi Steven,

I don't think there are any studies to show that babies born via natural birth are more intelligent than those born via c-section.

Some studies show evidence that naturally birthed babies may have fewer respiratory problems and better digestive health - but not intelligence.

You can boost a baby's intelligence by choosing breastfeeding if possible. Studies have shown that breastfeeding gives a boost to the intelligence of children.
