Poop

I have a 3 year old boy, and pooping and peeing are very exciting things at our house. When we go to the zoo, the highlight of the trip is if he gets to see an animal relieve themselves. So I decided I would make my first informational post all about poop.

-Having contact with some maternal feces during birth is desirable. You see, at and after birth the maternal intestinal flora is the main source of bacteria for colonizing the baby's gut. Because an infant is exposed to this during birth, it starts the process of getting good intestinal flora, right out of the birth canal. So all you ladies that are freaked out about pooping while giving birth, it's okay because you are helping your baby!
