Curious about vaginal seeding and whether it is safe and recommended for you and your baby?⁠ ⁠ To date, more than 20 studies have found that the microbiome in cesarean-born babies is different than that of vaginally born infants. These differences can persist to 4 years of age and may pose lasting health consequences.⁠ ⁠ I know this may sound scary but I have some great news to share: researchers and microbiologists are exploring solutions to help increase the health outcomes for mothers and babies through a technique they named Vaginal Seeding, which can be used following a cesarean. This is ground-breaking and pivotal research as the number of cesareans continues to rise on a global level.⁠ ⁠ Tune in to today’s On Health episode to learn⁠ 🌸what vaginal seeding is⁠ 🌸the current research supporting the technique⁠ 🌸the potential benefits and risks of vaginal seeding⁠ 🌸ways you can support the newborn microbiome⁠ 🌸and so much more!⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in bio to listen to the podcast and be sure to come back here and tell me your thoughts and questions!
