Uncover the source of your baby’s symptoms

During the first 1,000 days of a baby’s life, a type of programming takes place. This programming helps to determine a child’s lifelong health and has been directly linked to a wide range of metabolic and immune mediated disorders that fit under the umbrella of chronic disease, sometimes referred to as noncommunicable disease or noninfectious disease. And because of something called epigenetics, programming can even be carried from one generation to the next.

No pressure or anything.

During a baby’s first 1000 days, you have the opportunity to make a big impact in everyday ways, like simple lifestyle or diet shifts.

As a baby grows, their gut matures and their immune system gets a little more skilled at identifying friend versus foe. Gut maturity is marked by diversity. After birth, the first major leap we see is when a baby begins eating solid food.

Parents have the biggest impact on a baby’s gut health during pregnancy and a baby’s first 12 months. As a toddler, there are gradual shifts towards a more diverse and adult-like microbiome that stabilizes between 3 and 5 years old.

Factors that affect baby gut health include vaginal birth or C-section, breastfeeding or formula feeding, and the use of antibiotics.

A microbiome test can provide useful insights on how the gut microbiome may be contributing to the symptoms you’re experiencing.  Chances are, if your child is experiencing symptoms, there may be an underlying gut imbalance that is contributing to those symptoms, and understanding the gut can help to see if any imbalances are present and how they may be triggering a condition.

If we detect any imbalances, we can provide a personalized action plan to help you address them. By optimizing your gut microbiome, you may see the severity of reactions and symptoms decrease. And often eczema, allergies, colic are associated in a group of chronic conditions called the atopic march so catching these imbalances early can help you avert its progression from from one condition to another as your child grows.
