Vaginal seeding, also known as microbirthing, is a procedure where vaginal fluids are applied to a newborn baby born by cesarean section.

➜ This is done to recreate a natural transfer of the healthy microbiome that the baby gets during a vaginal birth.

➜ A cotton gauze or a swab is used to collect your vaginal fluids. Then the seeded gauze is wiped all over the baby’s head and body, and your nipples to supply a healthy microbiome.
