We believe that having a baby is the most exciting thing you will ever do

We are here to get you started by giving you support, information and connecting you with experts to make sure you get gut healthy and give your baby the best possible health for life.

The future of your health starts in the gut. Emerging evidence reveals that the gut plays a crucial role in many common and serious health conditions. There is an inextricable link between the diversity and balance of our gut bacteria and our susceptibility to disease.

We don’t want to sound (too) heavy, but your gut health will significantly contribute to the health of your baby

The great news is that massive advances in our understanding of how our bodies work means that we can transform our gut health to ensure we do the same for our children. And, it all starts in the gut.

We’re Empowering Mothers-to-be!

At MothersBabies we’re passionate about communicating compelling, evidence-based research into the critical role that the microbiome plays in baby-making.

From conception to pregnancy, birth and the first couple of years (the first ‘1,000 days’), the trillions of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi to which your baby is exposed, in and outside the womb, can contribute to health or illness.

Difficulty conceiving, miscarriage, premature birth, childhood ailments such as eczema and allergy can all be related to dysbiosis (typified by an imbalance in the microbial community).

In fact, microbes have an important role in the programming and education of, for example, your baby’s immune system and metabolism. And while it’s hard to imagine, their journey into adulthood may also encounter such issues as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease as a consequence of their early life microbial exposure and programming. Mothers too may face complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.

We see the first 1,000 days as a wonderful window of opportunity to give your baby the best start in life.


By distilling mother-baby microbiome research that uncovers the pre-conditions to good health, we hope to inspire you to take action where you can, in consultation with your health practitioner.

And where matters are out of your hands we share research with promising modes of address.

The emerging science is evolving at a rapid rate and we look forward to you dropping by for regular updates. Here’s to your health, your baby’s and that of future generations.
