Amazing to see how this #microbiota supplementation @NICUNNUH1 @NNUH @drpaulclarke has helped fragile #preterm babies grow into healthy kids like Archie! So pleased to be a part of this important work, with ongoing #microbiome studies to define mechanisms. 🙌🧫💻👶🧬🦠
Research from @drpaulclarke @NNUH and @hall_lab has shown how boosting the milk of premature babies with #probiotic bacteria may help halve infections #NEC quadram.ac.uk/giving-billion…

#Norfolk mums! Our freezers have arrived and will be turned on next week! Can you help us fill them? 💪❤ If you live in Norfolk and have more milk than your own baby needs, you can now become a milk donor more… instagram.com/p/B2mryatA3Tw/…

Today is World NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) Awareness Day. @hall_lab is exploring ways to reduce NEC incidence, which is a leading cause of death in fragile preterm infants, by harnessing the early life #microbiome. @NICUNNUH1 @drpaulclarke #NECday #ThisIsNEC @NECsociety
