THE BABY AND THE BIOME

Meenal Lele

How the Tiny World Inside Your Child Holds the Secret to Their Health

THE BABY AND THE BIOME is a revolutionary parenting book that draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that the key to raising happy and healthy babies lies in carefully protecting and caring for their microbiomes.

A baby's immune system develops rapidly in the first 1,000 days of life, with the first six months and year being most important. In The Baby and the Biome, Meenal Lele, medical researcher and founder of Lil Mixins, the #1 pediatrician-recommended allergy-prevention product , explains how diet, environmental toxins, antibiotics, and even common parenting practices can damage the delicate balance of our children's microbiomes, thereby increasing the risk for a host of immune diseases, including eczema, asthma, food allergies, IBS, and more.

Lele discovered firsthand how critical our microbiomes are to our overall health when she sought to understand the root causes for her son's food allergies. Drawing on her medical background and through extensive research and interviews with scientists and doctors, Lele discovered the simple, practical steps that all parents and pregnant moms can take to help foster a healthy and protective microbiome in their baby. The Baby and the Biome will empower parents to protect and safeguard their children's health for years to come.

Meenal Lele is the founder and CEO of Lil Mixins, a food allergy prevention solution that is the #1 pediatrician-recommended, early-introduction product available. Her company and story have been featured in Forbes and Real Woman magazine. She is a frequent guest on national food allergy and motherhood podcasts, including Idea Mix, Blossoming Mom and Baby, and Today We Tried.
