'Vaginal seeding' may help restore the gut microbiome of cesarean-born babies, a small trial suggests. However, the practice isn't currently recommended by leading experts and previous studies have warned of its potential safety risks.
"Vaginal seeding," a controversial practice of exposing babies born by cesarean section to their parent's vaginal fluids after birth, may benefit newborns' gut microbiomes, a new study suggests.
The new study, published June 15 in the journal Cell Host & Microbe, suggests that vaginal microbiota transfer , also known as vaginal seeding, is likely a safe and effective method of restoring the gut microbiome in cesarean-born infants so that it resembles that of vaginally delivered babies. The results also hint that vaginal seeding could improve neurodevelopment in cesarean-born infants, the study authors reported.
Research into vaginal seeding is scant, although a recent small observational study suggested that vaginal seeding can restore the microbiota of babies born by C-section. This study included 30 infants who underwent vaginal seeding but could not definitively establish a cause-and-effect relationship between vaginal seeding and microbiota differences.
