Baby elephants and other newborn animals eat adult's poop which gives them the necessary bacteria that can become established in their guts and help them with their immune system. Now, there are trials trying to see if giving human infants a tiny amount of mom's poop and see if it will help infant. #science #nature #immunity https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03449-4
@Ruthat Baby is not exposed to Mom's bacteria while in-utero. Mom does filter baby's excretions. Baby does get minimal bacterial exposure if it is a vaginal birth. If it is a C section birth...No.
