Description

If you have children, you also have pets! No, not dogs or cats, but billions of bacteria living in and on your little one. And that's a good thing – because gut flora ensures a calm tummy, optimal energy, healthy brain development, healthy skin, and a well-functioning immune system (to name just a few). So it's important that you not only nurture your child but also keep their bacterial colony happy. Pregnancy and the first few years are the foundation for a healthy microbiome... and thus a healthy future. And if things aren't going so well? In this book, you'll find all the information you need about all kinds of poop problems, other health complaints, and their natural solutions! In this book you can read all about: • a healthy gut & flora for babies and children (and why that's so important) • how to give your baby the best bacteria (by giving yourself the gift of a healthy pregnancy) • the influence of birth and of breastfeeding and bottle feeding (and what you can do if things don't go as hoped) • when to start complementary feeding and what your child can actually eat then (from the first bites to 'from the potty') • causes and solutions for the whole range of baby poop problems (from peanut butter diapers to rabbit droppings) • the influence of gut flora on the (neurodiverse) baby and child brain • what you can do when your child is sick & feeling sad (from ear infection to a cold) ... and much more! This way you give your little one and their bacteria the best start and build a solid foundation for the rest of their life. Packed with knowledge, advice and practical tips - the reference work for growing up healthy & naturally!
