Yes, a baby can swallow its bowel movement, known as meconium, regardless of the delivery method, including C-section. Meconium is the first stool a newborn passes, which can sometimes occur before or during labor. If the baby inhales or swallows meconium-stained amniotic fluid, it can lead to a condition called meconium aspiration syndrome, which may require medical attention. However, this is not specifically related to being born via C-section.

Meconium is found in a baby's intestines during pregnancy. It is a thick green tar like substance. Usually the meconium is released after the baby's birth.
