Microbiota — Early life development

Did you ever ask yourself how the microbes enter in your body? Your mom donated many of her beneficial microbes during birth, and she fostered the growth of you and your microbes with her milk, providing nutrients for both you and your microbiota. If you are born by cesarean section your microbiota will develop differently, and this can be linked to later life diseases like allergies and obesity. As an infant, your microbiota was very different, and growing up, it grew up with you. First time receiving solid food was a life changing event for both you and your microbiome.
