Why is this important? Because two years ago the claim was the opposite in preprint. We also don’t know if it is safe for this amount to be passed to newborn/infants which is why they urge caution of no BM for two days until further researched. Newborns especially have fresh microbiomes and are being exposed to new things everyday and especially through BM. The first major time they are exposed to microbes is through delivery. Things like C-section and formula feeding prevent this rich exposure. Usually why we wait until the 6 month mark for certain vaccines, as the microbiome and immune system will be strong enough to fight.
