Maybe this isn’t true, but I read it several years ago. I’ve never had kids, so am definitely not an expert.
I read that babies born naturally are healthier than babies via c-sections. The reason is that there’s something “down there” where the mother’s poop has been. And during birth that gives the baby some kind of immunity or something.
Apologies if not true or too gross.
That’s correct. And the first breast milk is called colostrum. Colostrum has many prebiotic and immune system benefits. Children not fed mother’s milk have more health problems. Some even think autism is correlated with children not having been breast fed. So natural birth and natural nutrition has huge benefits for the future health of babies.
