Be Well Baby

What if the key to your baby's long-term health started before they ever took their first breath? 🤰

This week, I sit down with Dr. Kirin Palmer (), pediatrician, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Pure Joy Pediatrics in the Portland metro area. We talk about the one thing most pediatricians aren't yet doing: putting the gut microbiome at the center of newborn care.

If your baby has struggled with reflux, colic, eczema, gassy, uncomfortable feeds, or weird colored p**ps with no answers... this episode is for you. 💛

We cover why your microbiome during pregnancy is your baby's starting point, what really happens in a newborn's gut in the first hours of life, why Dr. Palmer hasn't diagnosed a baby with colic in years, how antibiotics and birth method affect baby's gut (and what to do about it), why most OTC probiotics fall short, and what healthy newborn p**p actually looks like.

We use the terms mother, mom & birthing person interchangeably in this episode. 🌈
