Breast Milk Is Teeming With Bacteria — That’s
Good for the Baby
Breast-fed milk may nourish a baby’s microbiome
in ways that bottled breast milk can’t.
In the earliest days after birth, millions of
bacteria make their home in a baby’s body —
in the skin, mouth and especially the gut.
These immigrants come from the birth canal
and the mother’s feces (during a vaginal
birth), the mother’s skin and mouth as she
holds and nuzzles the baby and perhaps even
from the placenta, although that source is still
debated.
The colonizing microbiome can have a farreaching impact on the baby’s health. Studies
have suggested, for instance, that the
populace of a baby’s microbiome in the first
two years of life may predict later risk of
obesity. Children born by cesarean section are
also more likely to become obese, or to
develop autoimmune diseases such as type 1
diabetes and asthma.
Lately, scientists have identified another major
contributor to the infant microbiome. Breast milk, it turns out, is teeming with bacteria that
colonize the infant’s gut, and could help set
the course for the baby’s growing immune
system and metabolism.
