Human milk microbiome

Imagine your mommy’s milk as a big garden, and inside that garden are millions and millions of tiny creatures. They are so small that you can’t see them with your eyes, but they are very important.

These tiny creatures are called bacteria, and they live in your mommy’s milk. They work together to keep the milk healthy and safe for you to drink.

But how do they do that? Well, imagine there are some bad guys who want to hurt the milk, like germs. The bacteria in the milk make it hard for those bad guys to survive. They also help break down the milk into really small pieces, so your body can use everything in it to grow strong and healthy.

The human milk microbiome is like a special team of helpers that work together to make sure you get the best, healthiest milk possible. And because every mommy’s milk has a different team of these helpers, each one is special and unique, just like you!
