There is the peculiar fact that when babies are born they turns their face towards the mothers bottom, that results in (often times) that mother’s intestinal flora colonize the baby’s intestine.
Interesting. How do you know this? Is it in animals or some human scenario with natural birth? I thought doctors just plop the baby on the mother’s chest.
I study medicine, and during a lecture about intestinal flora my teacher talked about it. The Wikipedia article on vaginal birth also mentions it, though not hypothetical function of the rotation.
