What is microbiome?
Microbiome is defined as the community of microorganisms that are made up of protective, neutral and disruptive bacteria. These bacterias are involved in digestion of nutrients, immune system development and function, and protection against diseases and infections.
The human microbiome is a newly explored yet extremely important component of our health. In recent years, the microbiome located in the intestional tract of our guts has shown to play a crucial role in health.
Why is it important?
Our microbiome is originally determined by our DNA and is unique to each person. However, exposure to food and the environment can change our microbiome to support a healthy life, but can also result in greater risk of developing diseases or conditions when it is not properly cared for.A recent study demonstrated that 9 out of 10 infants experience gut microbiome deficiencies. The research determined that infants the infants with microbiome deficences were at greater risk for decreased nutrient digestion and absorption,
A recent study demonstrated that 9 out of 10 infants experience gut microbiome deficiencies. The research determined that infants the infants with microbiome deficences were at greater risk for decreased nutrient digestion and absorption, gastrointestinal issues, increased exposures to pathogens and decreased immune system function.
gastrointestinal issues, increased exposures to pathogens and decreased immune system function.We now know that the first 1000 days of life are the most important for the development of the gut microbiome. This time period is considered a window of oppportunity. That’s why early stage gut microbiome testing can help us understand what is happening in our baby’s gut in order to guide the decisions we make.
How will my baby’s microbiome evolve?
The first 1000 days of life is window of opportunity to shape the gut microbiome. The decisions you make for your baby during this time play a crucial role in the healthy growth and development of your baby.
Developmental phase
Months 3-14 is when gradual changes in the abundance of microbes occur as a result of new foods and different environmental exposures.
transitional phase
Months 15-20 focuses on key bacteria development. Key bacteria is determined by age, as well as food and environmental exposures.
stable phase
Months 30+ when the microbiome reaches its full maturity. This stages sets the foundation of lifelong health related to the gut microbiome.
Why monitor regularly?
Monitoring gives us the power to give our baby’s gut the chance to reach its full potential. Keeping your little one’s gut health in check gives them every opportunity to thrive as it can reduce the risk of certain health conditions. A recent research study studying infant gut microbiome demonstrated that infants experienced an increased risk of colic, diaper rash, eczema, allergies and Type 1 Diabetes when specific disruptive bacteria was unaddressed.
