    • 2016 July 28, “¿Qué es la "cesárea natural" y cómo se practica?”, in El Nacional:
      "Aunque muchos esfuerzos se han concentrado en promover el contacto piel con piel temprano y la participación de los padres en el parto vaginal, el nacimiento por cesárea se mantiene arraigado a los rituales quirúrgicos y de reanimación, lo cual retrasa el contacto de los padres, afecta la satisfacción de la madre y reduce el amamantamiento", señalaron los autores.
