Thank you so much for putting this together”“A brilliant resource for midwives” “I found it really interesting. It was easy to understand and the videos were really engaging”“Very insightful information that is critical to pass on to both healthcare professionals as well as to pregnant moms and dads”“As a midwife and IBCLC, I found the info on the microbiome and the Lactobacilli in the bowel and vagina fascinating. I aim to share it with colleagues and with women and families for whom I provide care and reinforce the issues around skin to skin and breastfeeding esp. breastfeeding being more than a food” “I just wish we could ensure that all medical students and nursing students had access to this as part of their early training”“It was very educational, and informative. It certainly will help me strive towards even better care”“Very happy with the value for the price and excited about the information. Scientifically ground breaking, but not difficult to understand and teach”  Opinion About Course Content“Providing theory to really back up the change in practice to empower midwives to educate women and their partners in maximising opportunities to colonise their baby’s microbiome” “The emerging research explains things we have known for a long time. It will help me communicate information about the importance of vaginal birth, breastfeeding and skin to skin both to women and their significant others and to other professionals”“Educationally, I appreciate how the content is repeated in the video and PDF to integrate many learning styles into the program”“I like how the line up evolved from beginning to end. It really made sense to me”“The videos and the slideshows were all extremely informative and linked together well”“It was very logical and easy to follow. It was an interesting perspective of the importance of birth and breastfeeding in creating our individual microbiome, equipping our immune system and preparing us to survive and thrive in the environment we are born into. The sobering consequences of not respecting this process are also presented” 11 WORLD LEADING PROFESSORSMARTIN BLASERMuriel G. and George W.
