UK scientists found that the first bacteria babies meet can help keep them healthy and may reduce lung infections in kids.

The study found a bacteria called Bifidobacterium longum helps protect babies from lung infections and reduces hospital stays.
Bacteria were mostly found in babies born naturally, not by caesarean. They may come from the mum during birth. More research is needed.
Scientists want to make treatments like probiotic yoghurts to help babies, especially those born by caesarean, have healthy bacteria.
