Cheryl Sew Hoy (@tiny.health) and I dive RIGHT into why mother's microbiome affects baby's gut health, why not all probiotics are helpful, how to improve baby's gut health (and yours), why any amount of breastmilk benefits baby's microbiome, and how the microbiome changes as our babies grow. And, of course, we address the question of whether or not babies need probiotics.
