Does being born by caesarian influence intestinal flora?
« on: 21/10/2010 02:30:04 »
Michael A. Rogawski  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
In a recent show you explained that a baby populates its intestinal flora by swallowing the muck it encounters while passing through the birth canal.

What happens when a baby is born by caesarian section? Is the flora as good as it would have obtained by a normal vaginal delivery?

What do you think?
