Back to EpisodesEpisode 14 - Microbiome - the seeding of a baby's gut during birth and early life, to build a healthy immune system
Description
In this episode, I was delighted to be joined by the very knowledgeable Bridget Supple from My Baby’s Biome. Bridget is an experienced antenatal teacher who wears many hats, but in today’s episode, she is talking about gut health and the immune system. The baby’s microbiome is designed to be ‘seeded’ at birth and in the early days and months of life. If a baby is born by caesarean section, is unable to have skin to skin, unable to breastfeed, or is given antibiotics - it may miss out on vital microbes or be seeded by the wrong ones. Bridget talks in detail about what parents can do in this instance, and gives helpful tips on how to support the baby’s gut moving forward. It’s a very informative episode, so please share with anyone who is pregnant, has recently had a baby, or has an older child who may benefit from hearing this information.
Bridget’s website is a very valuable resource for parents and health professionals on the baby’s microbiome www.babysbiome.org
