I’ve read about an idea that some doctors advocate for caesarean births - since the baby doesn’t get that journey out the birth canal, they put a cloth up the mother’s vagina for a while, then rub that cloth over the baby’s face to inoculate it with that biome. As far as I know this isn’t common, but it’s an interesting idea.
