A significant part of setting up a healthy gut microbiome happens in the narrow window of labor, birth and early postpartum. A healthy infant microbiome plays a critical role in a child's long-term health. Birth workers can educate their clients how birth, skin to skin, and breast/chest feeding help to optimally seed and feed a baby's microbiome and how to mitigate the impact of cesarean birth, antibiotics and other interventions.
Session Objectives:
1. Describe the human microbiome
2. List the 6 seeding and feeding events that optimize baby's microbiome
3. Describe the special role of human milk in infant immune training
4. Discuss the effects of cesarean birth and antibiotics on the infant microbiome
5. List microbiome friendly birth practices
