The Hidden World Shaping Your Babyâs Health- With Dr. Ruairi Robertson
Your babyâs gut microbiome is developing from the moment theyâre born – but how much should parents actually worry about it?
In this episode, Iâm joined by scientist Dr Ruairi Robinson to unpack what the research really tells us about the infant microbiome, and separate the science from the marketing and misinformation.
Weâre talking C-sections, vaginal birth, antibiotics, breastfeeding, formula, probiotics, vaginal seeding and, importantly, what you can actually influence.
Because yes, early life matters – but your babyâs microbiome is far more adaptable than you might think.And if youâre feeling guilty about how your baby was born, whether you breastfed, or whether they needed antibiotics, this episode is one youâll want to hear.
