A mustread . . . Takes you inside a childs gut and shows you how to give kids the best immune start early in life. William Sears, MD, coauthor of The Baby BookLike the culturechanging Last Child in the Woods, here is the first parenting book to apply the latest cuttingedge scientific research about the human microbiome to the way we raise our children. In the two hundred years since we discovered that microbes cause infectious diseases, weve battled to keep them at bay. But a recent explosion of scientific knowledge has led to undeniable evidence that early exposure to these organisms is beneficial to a childs wellbeing. Our modern lifestyle, with its emphasis on hypercleanliness, is taking a toll on childrens lifelong health. In this engaging and important book, microbiologists Brett Finlay and MarieClaire Arrieta explain how the trillions of microbes that live in and on our bodies influence childhood development; why an imbalance of those microbes can lead to obesity, diabetes, and asthma, among other chronic conditions; and what parents can dofrom conception onto positively affect their own behaviors and those of their children. They describe how natural childbirth, breastfeeding, and solid foods influence childrens microbiota. They also offer practical advice on matters such as whether to sterilize food implements for babies, the use of antibiotics, the safety of vaccines, and why having pets is a good idea. Forwardthinking and revelatory, Let Them Eat Dirt is an essential book in helping us to nurture stronger, more resilient, happy, and healthy kids.
