Episode 112
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
Slow gaining, faltering growth, failure to thrive- all of these are babies that are not getting optimal growth and development during the crucial early years. When you add in babies not stooling regularly and the effect of the microbiome, babies aren’t doing so great. In this episode Katie discusses how both weight and poop are common issues for babies and how these are areas we need both more research and more attention to.
