early infancy
According to a new study, the microbiota of breast milk depends on whether the milk is pumped or fed to an infant directly from the breast.
The lower airway microbiota forms within the first 2 months of life, influenced by the gestational age at birth and, in premature babies, the delivery mode.
According to a study published on Nature, the intestinal microbiota of infants make-up changes over time in 3 phases: 3-14 months, 15-30 months and 31-46 months.
