This trend again because, for real! These all point toward the gut and should not be ignored

1️⃣ Days without p**ping — A full week without a p**p is not normal at any age — it’s a sign their gut motility needs support.
2️⃣ Always sick / congestion — Back-to-back illness is a sign the gut (where 70% of immunity lives!) needs help.
3️⃣ Eczema that keeps returning — Skin is an extension of the gut — repeated flares mean something internal is unresolved.
4️⃣ Behavior + irritability — Mood and behavior are directly linked to the microbiome, with a “gut-brain axis” connecting the two through neural, immune, and hormonal pathways.
5️⃣ Slow weight gain (with gut issues) — Gut inflammation affects appetite, digestion, absorption, and growth.
6️⃣ Reflux / grunting / arching — An imbalanced microbiome (dysbiosis) can contribute to reflux symptoms.
7️⃣ Food refusal / picky eating — An extremely limited diet or refusal to try new foods may indicate an underlying gut issue.
8️⃣ Back-to-back ear infections — When the microbiome is imbalanced and inflammation is high, ear infections keep returning.
9️⃣ Reactions to multiple foods — Rashes, tummy pain, mucus, diarrhea, or discomfort with more than one food = gut imbalance clue.
🔟 Dry, reactive, or sensitive skin — If everything irritates their skin — soaps, foods, weather — the gut lining likely needs healing.

Once we address the gut with the right nutrition, diet, and lifestyle, so many of these symptoms resolve.

This is one of the most common things moms tell me when they first come to me for help.
-They’ve been brushed off.
-They’ve been told it’s normal.
-They’ve been told to just wait it out.
-And often… prescribed a medication with zero root-cause discussion.

But when I look at their baby’s symptoms through a gut lens, the pattern is almost always the same:

Those symptoms are signals from the gut — usually low keystone microbes that should be keeping things calm and balanced. Low Bifidobacterium, low Akkermansia, low butyrate-producers…

When those good buggies aren’t there to keep things in check, the unfriendly ones take over — and that’s when we see, Skin flares, Reflux, Bloating, Mucousy p**p, Food sensitivities, Constant fussiness

Testing helps us figure out exactly where those imbalances are.
-We can absolutely course-correct this.
-We don’t have to wait and hope.
-We can look deeper, find the imbalance, and rebuild from the inside out.

This is how we set the foundation for long-term health… and most importantly, a happier child. 💛

In my practice, I always start by looking at:
✨ How keystone microbes are functioning
✨ Whether inflammation is present
✨ Digestion + nutrient absorption
✨ Solids exposures + microbial diversity
✨ Early patterns that explain WHY symptoms keep coming back
Once you know the root cause, everything starts to make sense.

🥚🍳 Infancy is NOT the time to shy away from eggs! Introducing these nutrient-dense proteins early and often can not only help reduce the risk of food allergies but also play a major role in infant feeding.

Here are 3 reasons why eggs should be a staple in your baby’s diet:

1️⃣ Nutrient Powerhouse 💪 - Eggs are packed with essential nutrients like choline, high-quality protein, and healthy fats that support your baby’s rapidly developing brain and body.

2️⃣ Texture Exploration 🔍 - From soft and creamy to firm and crumbly, eggs offer a variety of textures for your baby to explore and enjoy. This exposure helps develop their palate and encourages a lifelong love of diverse foods!

3️⃣ Versatility 🥄🍳🍞 - Eggs can be prepared in so many delicious ways, from simple scrambles to fun French toast strips. Making it easy to keep mealtime exciting and engaging for your little one!

By exposing your baby’s gut to a wide range of foods and allergens early on, you’re helping to shape their microbiome and lay the foundation for lifelong health. Plus, the more variety in their diet, the more likely they are to develop a diverse palate and enjoy a range of flavors and textures as they grow! 💚💙
