Bringing a Thriving Baby into the World Part 2

Part II focuses on the critical window from birth through age two—when the infant brain is wiring, pruning, and growing at extraordinary speed, and when inflammation can have lasting consequences. We’ll unpack why maintaining an anti-inflammatory internal environment is essential, how breastfeeding protects against immune overstimulation, and why factors like antibiotics, vitamin K protocols, immune-activating exposures, and gut health dramatically influence neurological outcomes. We’ll also cover Group B Strep, jaundice risk factors (including the often ignored role of G6PD deficiency), and practical microbiome-support strategies that promote robust immunity and healthy neurodevelopment. This session empowers parents with tools to reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and protect the vulnerable early-life period.
