    Dear Colleagues

    It came to my notice yesterday that there is a practice called ‘seeding’ and some mothers have asked if they can do this.
    I think the mother had come into our birth centre at Canberra Hospital and I am at present finding out how common this practice is and would like your feedback if this has occurred at your hospital
    For those not aware of the practice it is when a saline soaked piece of gauze is inserted into the vagina prior to the caesarian section. The gauze is then put into a container and when the baby is born the gauze is wiped inside the baby’s mouth, over its eyes and skin, supposedly to colonise the baby with the mother flora.

    I look forward to your feedback

    Kind regards

    Heather

    I read this news report about seeding a while back, but haven’t gotten my hands on the research paper as yet. Fascinating stuff. We have not experienced it at our facility as yet though.
