#Infant Nutrition
Gut biomes.
This is serious. The infant microbiome🦠 is the population of good versus bad bacteria in the body. It is important for this to be in balance to favor good health 💪
.
The first seeding of good bacteria 🦠 happens at birth when baby travels through the vagina 🤰into the world. The second happens at the breast 🤱 through the magic of breast milk 💦
.
C-section and Formula feeding disrupts the infant microbiome and tips the balance in favour of pathogenic bacteria. 😓 This gives way to allergies, and infections but also to mental health issues. 🤒 Thankfully this balance can be brought back with the right nutrition and lifestyle choices ,but over time what impact would this have?
.
We must remind ourselves that like global warming 🌍 this too is a very serious risk for the future generations and for life on earth itself
☀️
Is the mother reponsible for this? NO! She follows the guidance and advice she receives. This message is for the MEDICAL COMMUNITY to take responsibility and minimize medical interventions in birth that can contribute to HIGH c-section rates and provide the right support to mom's so we can IMPROVE and report on breastfeeding rates. (Medically necessary C-sections should be less than 11% but are abnormally high and breastfeeding rates can be close to 100 but is only at 47%in India). It's a reality we must face and not hide from
.
What kind of planet🌍 do we want to leave behind for our babies and their babies? 🏞️
.
It's one baby at a time, we get to change the future ❤️
