We all want the best care and optimal development for our children right from the very beginning. Science is showing us more and more that whole body health starts in the gut. 

Whether you’re trying to conceive, newly postpartum, a professional supporting new mothers, or years into your parenting journey, this episode has the potential to affect the well-being of generations decades into the future! 

In this conversation, I’m chatting with Erin Carroll-Manning, founder of Gentle Giraffes, Master Newborn Care Specialist, and Postpartum Doula. 

In this episode, we’re sharing:

  • The reasons that what we put into our bodies, especially in pregnancy matter so much, and what happens when we don’t notice and take care of gut health especially when it relates to newborns. (Hint: think about where the umbilical cord connects before the brain even begins to form!) 
  • What women can do even before conception to improve the pregnancy experience (see ya, morning sickness) and newborn health. 
  • Whether or not probiotics for newborns is an essential part of care and natural, holistic ways the gut health can be supported. 

No matter where you are in your parenting journey, take heart. It’s never too late to support the whole body health of yourself and your family. We hope this conversation inspires you to do exactly that!
