Publisher's summary

A revolutionary parenting book that draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that the key to raising happy and healthy babies lies in carefully protecting and caring for their microbiomes.

A baby’s immune system develops rapidly in the first 1,000 days of life, with the first six months and year being most important. In The Baby and the Biome, Meenal Lele, medical researcher and founder of Lil Mixins, the #1 pediatrician-recommended allergy-prevention product, explains how diet, environmental toxins, antibiotics, and even common parenting practices can damage the delicate balance of our children’s microbiomes, thereby increasing the risk for a host of immune diseases, including eczema, asthma, food allergies, IBS, and more.

Lele discovered firsthand how critical our microbiomes are to our overall health when she sought to understand the root causes for her son’s food allergies. Drawing on her medical background and through extensive research and interviews with scientists and doctors, Lele discovered the simple, practical steps that all parents and pregnant moms can take to help foster a healthy and protective microbiome in their baby. The Baby and the Biome will empower parents to protect and safeguard their children’s health for years to come.

practical and empowering

Lele's book is a powerful mixture of science, parenting tools, and personal story. I recommend it for parents, expecting parents, and even those who want to improve their own health through the power of the microbiome.

Sharing with all my friends

This book should become a classic in every expecting parents arsenal of learning and preparing books. Well researched and informative with a thankfully uplifting message I know my thanks goes out to the author for writing so boldly about the topic of the baby biome and my friend who gave this to me. Highly recommend!
