The impact of delivery mode on infants' gut microbiota is explored by Dr. Juan José Díaz Martín, emphasizing the importance of understanding the differences between cesarean section and vaginal birth. Learn how breastfeeding can help restore a healthy microbiome in cesarean-born infants, which plays a key role in their long-term health. The potential for techniques such as vaginal seeding and fecal maternal transplant to restore microbiota are also discussed.
