“The clear drape allowed Allison to be an active participant in their baby’s birth. This wasn’t a birth that just ‘happened to her’ with a sense of detachment, but it was her giving birth to her son. She was able to see him the moment he was out of the womb. She was able to watch the moment her son was born, and the moment he took his first breath. She was able to see his features, his hair, his chubby little cheeks and legs. Able to not only hear him cry, but watch his lip quiver with the sound.”

Study: Treating Babies With Probiotics Benefits Their Gut – Mothering
“The composition of gut microbiomes works in concert with our immune system. The right mix of good microbes present early in life determines what activates the immune system into protecting the body and what microbes are considered safe for the body. Researchers theorize that poorly populated gut microbiomes are at least partially, if not mostly, responsible for numerous digestive system disorders and conditions of the immune system, including asthma, allergies, and autoimmunity.”
