The Critical Role of Vaginal Birth and Breastfeeding for Lifelong Health
From the Directors of the Award-Winning Documentary Microbirth
At least two amazing events happen during childbirth.
There’s the obvious main event, which is the emergence of a new human into the world. But there’s another event taking place simultaneously, a crucial event that is not visible to the naked eye, an event that could determine the lifelong health of the baby. This is the seeding of the baby’s microbiome, the community of “good” bacteria that we carry with us throughout our lives.
