title: Mode of delivery and subsequent stress response.
abstract: We have shown that a baby's stress (saliva cortisol) and crying response to inoculation at 8 weeks was related to mode of delivery, with the greatest response shown in those born by assisted delivery and the least response in those born by elective caesarean section.
