Although the fetus in the womb lives in a sterile environment and is only colonized with microbes at birth, a transfer of microbial metabolites from the maternal microbiota to the fetus already takes place during pregnancy. These promote the maturation of the child's immune system. After birth, breast milk and a development of the immune system in harmony with a balanced intestinal flora set the course for a healthy life.
