“The birth” of the human microbiome: important steps for its development from conception to the first years of life”
The microbiome is the collective genome of the microbes that live both inside and on our body. Those microorganisms are very old friends of humans, but it is only recently that we realized their impact on our wellness and health.
Meeting with Fanette Fontaine, phD to talk about the preciousness of the human microbiome and its importance on our health.
Fanette Fontaine is a researcher in bacterial genetics and lecturer in microbiology at the University Paris-Diderot, France. She has been working for more that 15 years on bacteria but it is when she became a mother that she became fascinated by the microbiome and deep-dived into its development during pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding.

Dr. Fanette Fontaine
Lots of things that happen during the first 3 years of life are beyond our control, but certain practices might help our little ones to live in harmony with their microbes which can have long term benefits for their immune systems.
The microbiome is the collective genome of the microbes that live both inside and on our body. These microorganisms are very old friends to humans, but it is only recently that we have begun to understand their impact on our health and wellbeing such as fending off pathogens, tuning the immune system and even influencing mental health.
Babies acquire these germs predominantly from their mother, then from other family members, and the environment. From birth to the age of three the microbiome is extremly dynamic and intervention during this period could have life long effects. Then after the age of three, a toddler’s microbiome is more adult-like and tends to bounce back after challenges.
Join us for a meeting with Fanette Fontaine, phD to talk about the preciousness of the human microbiome and its importance on our health and learn simple tools to preserve your child’s microbiome.
Please reserve your space by writing to info@belliesabroad.com, those who prefer to attend remotely are welcome to!
