The Microbirth Plan
NEW! Announcing our first international conference bringing doulas, birth educators, midwives and other childbirth professionals together with the scientists and academics behind the latest research into the infant microbiome.
MICROBIRTH
Microbirth is a multi-award winning documentary exploring the latest science about the ‘seeding and feeding’ of a baby’s microbiome during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. The film features scientists behind the ground-breaking research that reveals the critical role of mothers’ microbes for optimal training of the infant immune system and lifelong health.
Following the success of the film, we’ve produced a book aimed at parents and healthcare professionals: The Microbiome Effect (UK edition) and Your Baby’s Microbiome (US edition).
In Spring 2017 we launched continuing education resources aimed at healthcare professionals including online courses and one-day workshops.
