Turns out, a lot of US babies are missing Bifidobacterium—the gut bacteria that helps digest breast milk and trains the immune system. In a big study, 1 in 4 babies had none, and most had super low levels. The catch? Babies with less of this bacteria were 3x more likely to get allergies, eczema, or asthma by age 2. C-sections, formula, and antibiotics all play a role. Early gut health really sets the stage for future wellness! #Health #BodyHealth #GutHealth
