Summary
This study looks at whether giving C-section babies a dose of their mother's vaginal bacteria can help prevent allergies and asthma. Researchers believe that babies born by C-section miss out on beneficial bacteria that help train the immune system. The study involves 114 infants at high risk for allergies and tracks whether they develop food or airborne allergies by age 1.
