I had three kids by C-Section and none of them suffered these symptoms!

Same here. My son with health problems was a natural birth. My two who were delivered by C-section have never had a cold in their lives and have perfect attendance at school.

I have 4 boys, all born by cesarean section. The oldest had a lot of ear infections the first 2 years of his life, but I think the fact that he quit breastfeeding at 6 months of age was what triggered them, because they started about two weeks after he weaned himself. My other 3 boys were all very healthy babies.

Don't you understand what "increased risk" or "twice as likely" means? It does not mean that all babies born by Caesarean section suffer the problem. Only that more do than those born vaginally. So to say that your kid was born by Caesarean section and is fine is a totally meaningless comment.

There is also a correlation between Caesarean births and asthma. My daughter was born vaginally, but suffers from asthma. It would make no sense for me to try and dispute the correlation by using her as an example. Using anecdotal evidence to try to dispute a study is absurd.

I had one followed by a vaginal delivery. Neither have allergies that can be contributed to anything but genetics.
