What disrupts a newborn's virgin gut?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm hoping someone on here might be able to direct me to some sources that give specific info on what might disrupt the virgin gut. I ask because I've been giving my new lo (9 wks now) little fingers of probiotics recommended by my naturopath, for his tummy troubles, without thinking about the virgin gut issue. I had a c/s and took a round of abx during pregnancy, so I thought I was helping him by giving him the probiotics. Of course, the c/s itself and the darned sucrose coated "soothies" they gave him to suck on in the hospital against my wishes might have already ruined things .

Also wondering about homeopathy pellets.

TIA mommas!

I think that giving him the probiotics is probably a good idea. Lots of info on baby guts on the GAPS page:

and more info for mama
