ObjectiveThe relationship between cesarean delivery and infant growth is controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the type of delivery and the growth trajectory of Brazilian infants in the first year of life.Materials and MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted between 2016 and 2021 as part of the Araraquara Cohort Study that assessed quarterly anthropometry of 719 and 667 infants to evaluate, respectively, the effects of type of delivery on weight gain velocity (WGV) and length gain velocity (LGV) using generalized estimating equations.ResultsThe type of delivery was not associated with WGV or LGV in the first year of life. Higher mean WGV was observed among infants born to mothers with higher education, male infants, formula-fed infants, and those with the lowest birth weight, while infants with diarrhea had lower mean WGV. Higher mean LGV was found among formula-fed infants and infants born to taller mothers, while infants with the highest length at birth had lower LGV.ConclusionThe factors that explain WGV and LGV in this population are more closely related to maternal characteristics such as height and educational attainment, birth characteristics, feeding behavior, and morbidity than to the type of delivery.
