Pregnant mothers, as worried and pressured as they already are during pregnancy, might have just unlocked a new way of finding out how to prevent their babies from growing up with allergies through their babies first poo!
It looks like their poo won t be such a waste after all.
Meconium, or a baby s first poo, is a fancier name for a newborn infant s first stool. It is a thick, green, tar-like substance that lines your baby s intestines during pregnancy.

It is believed that the very first stool to leave your newborn is bacteria-free due to their tiny intestines not yet colonized by microorganisms, therefore it is responsible for holding the starting material to develop the microbiome in our body and set up our immune system.

New Discovery Went Viral
Nuren was collecting his nets when he noticed that he had accidentally caught an adult shark. He opened the shark s belly and spotted three pups inside. Two of the pups looked perfectly normal but one looked completely strange. I originally found a mother shark caught in the trawler net. The next day I split the belly of the mother shark and found three pups in the stomach. Two were like the mother and this one looked like it had a human face, Nuren explained.
