Scientists study for restoring intestinal flora of the caesarean infants

Injection of mother's vaginal secretions to the baby after the caesarean birth will bring them healthy intestinal bacteria.

A baby in a huge transition from the womb to the world, they will absorb the first permanent residence of microorganisms in their gut. But babies born by Caesarean section is missing out on this process will eventually leave different microorganisms in the intestine, including some microorganisms from the hospital environment.

Some studies have found that babies exposed to Caesarean these organisms make their future for a number of diseases or health problems are more sensitive, such as asthma, food allergies, pollen allergies and obesity. "Perhaps, we can restore the intestinal flora of caesarean section babies and reduce the risk." Jose Clemente Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City said.

Scientists are still aware of the importance of intestinal flora on people's health. Gut microbes began to develop in the womb, but the process will really take place at birth, the fetus in the process get a parent bacterial vaginal cavity and skin. Clemente and New York University's Maria Dominguez-Bello, who has been trying to re-copying process. Before caesarean section, they will provide maternal gauze and 1 hour before surgery to put it at the birth canal. Then, after the baby was born 2 to 3 minutes, put gauze in his mouth, body and anus.

"After such treatment, caesarean section babies are more similar to the intestinal bacteria along births." Clemente said in a recently published research results. However, whether such a measure has long-term health effects on infants still remains further study.

"It's hard to say action produced in this way is sustainable and whether this approach is sufficient to have an impact on the immune system." David MacIntyre Imperial College London, UK said, "But this is really an easy way for the caesarean baby to have gut microbes just as natural born babies do."
