During the first 1,000 days of a baby’s life, a type of programming takes place. This programming helps to determine a child’s lifelong health and has been directly linked to a wide range of metabolic and immune mediated disorders that fit under the umbrella of chronic disease, sometimes referred to as noncommunicable disease or noninfectious disease. And because of something called epigenetics, programming can even be carried from one generation to the next.

No pressure or anything.

During a baby’s first 1000 days, you have the opportunity to make a big impact in everyday ways, like simple lifestyle or diet shifts.

As a baby grows, their gut matures and their immune system gets a little more skilled at identifying friend versus foe. Gut maturity is marked by diversity. After birth, the first major leap we see is when a baby begins eating solid food.

Parents have the biggest impact on a baby’s gut health during pregnancy and a baby’s first 12 months. As a toddler, there are gradual shifts towards a more diverse and adult-like microbiome that stabilizes between 3 and 5 years old.

Factors that affect baby gut health include vaginal birth or C-section, breastfeeding or formula feeding, and the use of antibiotics.

The initial colonization of an infant's gut with bacteria comes from the mother. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, a mother shares microbes and microbial products from her gut, vaginal, and skin microbiomes with her baby. The mode of birth and breastfeeding are key factors in shaping the composition of the gut microbiome in the first month of life and up to around one year of age. By optimizing your gut and vaginal microbiomes, you increase the likelihood of seeding your baby’s gut with beneficial microbes, establishing a foundation for lifelong health.

Additionally, the gut and vaginal microbiomes can contribute to the risk of health conditions in mom that can have impacts on the baby, such as preterm birth and gestational diabetes. Optimizing microbiome health before or during pregnancy can help reduce the microbiome's contribution to the risk of these conditions.
