Diaper rash, eczema and colic may be linked to your baby’s gut health.

Does your baby experience diaper rash, eczema, colic and have troublesome sleep habits? Today, you will learn how these conditions may be linked to your baby’s gut health, what that means and what you can do about it.

MomLifeTV welcomes Megan Landrum, a registered dietitian and infant gut health expert for Evivo. We discuss the role microbiomes and gut health plays in newborns.

What role does bacteria and gut health play in newborns?

Common newborn issues such as excessive crying, gas, inability to digest well, diaper rash, colic and watery stools can be attributed to an imbalance in gut health. Probiotics can get your baby on a good health trajectory during their first year of life  – before they have sleepless nights. You’ll learn about B. infantis, an important strain of bacteria and the role it plays in infant health. You will find out:

• How microbiomes are transferred from mom to baby, during the birth process.
• Moms role in delivering mircobiomes due to antibiotic resistance and C-section.
• Is there a difference in breastfed or bottle-fed when it comes to critical B. infantis?
• Would mom taking probiotics help baby?
• The role of sterile environments in B. infantis biomes.
• When to start probiotics to help infants avoid issues with diaper rash, eczema and colic.
• What gut health issues are normal vs just a fussy baby? When should a mom be concerned? What are the signs?
• Colic and inflammation in baby’s gut.
• What can your baby’s poop tell you?

If your baby has issues that don’t seem right to you, use your parent intuition. These ‘common’ newborn issues can be resolved by starting with Evivo.
