RE: VAGINAL MICROBIOTA AS A PROTECTIVE MECHANISM IN NEWBORNS

Interesting research anf findings. I will have to read more about the research, perhaps read the original paper. Does it means that babies given birth to CS lacks vital symbiotic microflora or they just don't have enough of it as compared by those vagina birthed?

Hi @gentleshaid, there are actually many other aspects to explore on this topic of the importance of how babies are born, i.e. how it affects how they are born. Research in the UK shows that children born by caesarean section have certain health complications (allergies, asthma and obesity) in the first year of life that children born naturally do not usually have, and this is attributed to the microbiota.
New research is also being conducted on this topic to look into it further. Greetings and thanks for reading my post
