We learn how and why moving away from our natural processes, we are destroying our microbiome. Increased rates in caesarean sections, lower breastfeeding rates, a steady increase in birth interventions and no skin-on-skin post-birth are all contributing factors in preventing the baby from accessing the mother’s essential microbiome – the bacteria that feeds the immune system in a process called seed and feed, a process that ensures the safe development of the child’s immune system.
