Is it true that gut health affects how baby absorbs nutrients? Cos my baby eat already still very small size. I worry

After C-section, what’s the best way to help baby build stronger immunity? Breastfeeding enough anot?

Hi Doc... If baby poop sometimes green, sometimes yellow, got anything to do with gut health or just normal?

My firstborn was C-section. He always fall sick when younger leh… really linked to gut health ah?

I might need C-section for my first baby… does that really mean their immunity will be weaker ah?

How do I know if my baby’s gut health is improving? Cannot just look at poop every time right?

also if my baby I feel always got wind in tummy... is it part of poor gut health or because of the food
