C-section births are hard for your baby's gut

It means your baby missed the very crucial "seeding moment" that happens during vaginal birth, where mom transfers the beneficial microbes that jumpstart the baby's microbiome.

Their immune system may need a little help

Fussiness, sleep issues, reflux, eczema, food allergies, and even some long-term conditions like asthma, and type 1 diabetes link back to this early moment on their microbiome journey. Fortunately, the right interventions during their first 1,000 days can help your baby to course correct.

Here’s what they’re saying.

I am so thankful to have found tiny health. Starting at 1 month of age, my baby had several gi issues and we couldn’t pinpoint the cause. Rather than blindly eliminating foods and adding in supplements, the tiny health kit gave me a real look at what was going on in her gut and provided targeted advice specific for her. She is a whole new baby who is thriving and happy!

Shanna

Life-changing. The testing was super easy. And when my babies results came back I was able to understand what each factor meant. I was able to speak with their professionals and given a tailored action plan for my baby. Once I applied these steps, no more than 2 weeks later my babies condition got better and we haven't turned back yet.

Shelby

My son suffers from eczema which led me on my search for a solution. After searching the web for MONTHS I stumbled upon the Tiny Health website and I was so intrigued. After getting Sage’s results back and switching his probiotics as well as implementing a few other changes, his skin has changed significantly. I am beyond happy about the results.

Jessica W. Was very knowledgeable and helpful! Excited to implement this action plan!

Deborah was knowledgeable and helped me to understand my results and gave me some additional steps forwad.

I love Tiny Health! The test was simple with detailed instructions. They have a quick turn around time and kept me updated with the samples status. Very thorough results with inciteful recommendations. Can't recommend enough!!

I work in gut microbiome research myself and I am always excited to see more options for gut testing. It's amazing how user-friendly TinyHealth is and how much information they give you while remaining one of the most affordable gut tests on the market! I love that they have gut tests tailored to the entire family and to women through all stages of life. I have my whole family taking TinyHealth gut tests and I plan on using them for preconception, prenatal, postpartum and infant microbiome health as well.

I absolutely love Tiny health. The sample is easy to get and you get so much incredible and detailed information back! And the Action Plan is super easy to read!

Provides useful insights every time. Very grateful for this service. It has given us more power and control over our health.

I love all the information that comes with the results with action items! We’ve started a lot of the suggestions!

We did this for my son and are going to be doing for all of us. I love how it gives the full picture not what is wrong. Improvement with nutrition , specifics foods, how to help picky eaters! Lia has been amazing to deal with . I am looking forward to seeing results . We’ve recommended to four families already.

Very easy and simple to use.

Me and my wife ordered the Adult Gut Health tests as part of a promotion with our health company called Crowdhealth. We were amazed at how detailed the reports were and what action plans they gave us. My wifes microbiome is better than mine but we are both in good shape but have a few things we can work on. We have already implemented some of the recommendations and will be retesting in a few months to see what progress we made. It is so great to get so much detail on our gut and how to improve it.

This was my second test ordered by my doctor. The changes prescribed after the first test made significant improvements in my gut health as evidenced by the second test. I plan to do another test several months from now to continue tracking changes and improvements. These tests are invaluable in diagnosing and improving gut health.

I've been wanting to get my microbiome tested for a few years now and because there were so many options didn't know much about these test and they were very expensive, I hesitated. But I'm so glad I found Tinyhealth! I got to meet my little partners in life and now understand how I can help them thrive and in return help me thrive as I age.

The first gut test designed with families in mind

Tiny Health was founded by Cheryl, a Mom looking to heal her baby’s microbiome after a C-Section birth. Unable to find clear, reliable answers anywhere she quickly realized that the only gut microbiome tests on the market were designed for grown-ups, not babies, leading to inaccurate results. She set out to create the first ever test to measure the microbiome health of babies during the critical first 1,000 days of life.

A fresh perspective on baby’s health

The traditional approach to healthcare is failing us. Tiny Health empowers parents to take charge of their babies’ gut health, which is fundamental for their lifelong health.

### Conventional approach

Frequently asked questions

How is this different than a Baby Gut Health Test?

Tiny+ Baby Membership

The Tiny+ Membership is  ideal for parents whose baby is suffering from any chronic conditions or parents who want to take a proactive approach to optimize their baby's gut health, setting the foundation for lifelong health. Tracking the gut microbiome over time allows you to fine-tune your actions for optimal gut health.

What's Included:

Health Test Assessment

The Gut Health Test is a great starting point for understanding your baby's gut health. This option helps you establish your baby's baseline and take the first steps toward optimizing their gut health.

What's Included:

‍

What if I'm already working with a pediatrician, naturopath, or functional medical provider?

Tiny Health's Root Cause Assessment and Eczema Gut Rebalance Program are great tools to use in conjunction with your provider's services. There is no one- size fits all approach to gut health. Tiny Health's services will be able to give your provider a clear view of what is happening in your baby's gut so that a personalized plan of care that addresses your baby's specific needs can be implemented. We also offer guidance to your practitioners at no additional cost, to help them best understand your results and utilize them in your care plan.

‍

What can I expect from my Tiny+ Membership?

Does microbiome testing detect eczema?

While microbiome testing does not test for eczema, we can show associations between your baby's gut microbiome and their symptoms of eczema. Or the potential risk of these conditions developing. How do we do this? We use something called biomarkers. Microbial biomarkers are bacteria associated with a higher or lower likelihood of developing a particular condition. But not everyone with biomarkers will have that condition. And everyone with a condition may not have the biomarkers. Microbial biomarkers are developed from research. The Tiny Health Bioinformatics Pipeline uses a custom built database of over 120K complete microbial genomes. We sift through the research surrounding the microbiome and use this information to develop a list of bacteria that we feel are important to track in early life. Beyond the gut, there are a lot of other factors that also contribute to these conditions. Like genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposures.

How can Tiny Health help?

If your child already has eczema or food allergies, it is likely that their gut could use some support! This is where Tiny Health would love to help provide insight. If your child does not have any symptoms, let's check in on the gut and see how we can help keep things on track.

‍

If I join the Membership can I cancel at any time

Your Tiny+ Membership will automatically renew after one year. You’ll receive a renewal reminder 30 days before your renewal date. You can cancel anytime, but once canceled, you’ll lose access to your discounted membership rates. If you choose not to renew, be sure to cancel before your renewal date to avoid being charged.

If I restore and optimize my baby's gut, will the risk for developing inflammatory conditions decrease?

Yes! By restoring your baby's gut microbiome and reducing their "C-Section Signature" by the age of one, can help you reduce their microbiome risk for developing these conditions. For example, this is an expert from one of our White Papers regarding C- Sections and asthma. "Studies have shown that C-section-delivered infants are at more than double the risk of developing asthma later in life[30]. However, the risk of asthma can be mitigated after a C-section birth if the baby's microbiome restores to a "healthy range" by 1 year of age [1]. Children who retain a C-section gut microbial signature at 1 year old have a 3 times increased risk of developing asthma by age 6, while C-section babies without the microbiome signature have the same risk as vaginal born babies. This suggests that appropriate maturation of the gut microbiome mitigates the risk of asthma linked to C-section birth and provides a window of opportunity for intervention."

How can a C-Section impact my baby's future health?

If a baby has high levels of unfriendly bacteria in their gut microbiome for prolonged periods of time, especially in the first 1,000 days, it can elevate their risk for developing eczema, food allergies, asthma, and a host of other chronic conditions later in life like metabolic and autoimmune conditions. While only one piece of the puzzle, the microbiome plays an important role in the developing immune system and immunological conditions.

Thankfully, studies have shown there is a window of opportunity for intervention, and by acting early to restore your baby's gut microbiome, you can reduce their microbiome risk for developing these conditions.
