Reading Between the Percentiles

Are You Confident in the Science?

Parents are asking about probiotics. About C-sections. About antibiotics. About gut health, immunity, eczema, and “healing the microbiome.”

The research is expanding rapidly — but much of it is preliminary, over-interpreted, or stripped of nuance in social media spaces.

As a lactation or infant feeding professional, you need more than buzzwords. You need clarity.

From First Feeds to First Foods provides an evidence-based framework for understanding what we know, what we do not know, and how to translate microbiome science into scope-appropriate clinical conversations.

In one focused hour, you will:

Define core microbiome terminology with precision
Understand how microbial ecosystems develop across the first 1,000 days
Distinguish diversity from functionality
Identify key early-life influences including delivery mode, feeding modality, antibiotics, and environment
Interpret microbiome research more critically
Translate findings into realistic, scope-aligned counseling conversations

No over-promising. No therapeutic claims. No stepping outside professional boundaries.
