How to clean your baby's bottle & nipple 🍼
We talk a lot about the microbiome over here at The Natural Nipple! How you are actually 10:1 microbial DNA to human DNA, and how the first 3 years of life are crucial for forming the signature gut bacterial portfolio that play a role in the way we eat, think, and function moving forward in life.
The good bacteria, do things like prevent disease, train your immune system and keep bad bacteria at bay.
Bad bacteria, or an imbalance of good to bad called 'dysbiosis', can actually result in fatal complications in infancy like necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis (which is what we set out to prevent at The Natural Nipple by making it easier to provide breastmilk for longer), colic, auto-immune dysfunction, neuro-developmental disorders, and even anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
