        I’m of the belief it would help immensely. C sections have proven to have long term negative effects on the child’s health as a result of not properly establishing necessary bacteria that is essential to a healthy immune system.

        Who’s life is more important; the mother or the baby?

        Both!Mothers are losing their lives and their babies. Women live longer if they have babies naturally, especially women over 27.

        Cool medical story. Weird pseudo religious tie-in. The alliteration is nice, but the phrase "bacterial baptism" doesn't need to become a thing. K?

        Dr. Tom O' Bryan and the Betrayal series have been talking about this for some time. We have for far too long misunderstood and underestimated the role of our microbial biomes, starting in the womb and continuing with birthing and nursing.

        That sounds totally gross. Like new parents eating the placenta. Can we try to be a bit more civilized please?

        Drinking mother's milk is the first step against health problems. As long as the mother is healthy. Now, people have to decide if breast feeding mothers are a horror to look at or if they have to cover the baby with a scarf.
