Power Quotes From The Show Check Your Baby's Gut"A baby's microbiome is very malleable which is why in the early days it's so important to check and make sure that they have the right balance." - Cheryl Sew Hoy
Pregnancy Diet Affects The Child After Birth"There's a connection between what the mom's diet is during pregnancy and her butyrate function. The mom's butyrate function during pregnancy affects the child's external behavior by 2 years of age which defines how extroverted or introverted they are and how they are able to express their feelings." - Cheryl Sew Hoy
Test, Not Guess"We should test, not guess when you supplement. There is a danger of over supplementing a child or even adults with. If it colonizes, it may hamper the natural diversification that you want in a kid who's eating solids and exposed to a lot of different environmental microbes." - Cheryl Sew Hoy
