Let them eat dirt : saving your child from an oversanitized world  Cover Image Book Book

Let them eat dirt : saving your child from an oversanitized world / B. Brett Finlay, PhD, Marie-Claire Arrieta, PhD.

Summary:

"Babies and young kids are being raised in surroundings that are increasingly cleaner, more hyper hygienic, and more disinfected than ever before. As a result, the beneficial bacteria in their bodies is being altered, promoting conditions and diseases such as obesity, diabetes, asthma, allergies, and autism. There is much that parents can do about this, including breastfeeding if possible, getting a dog, and avoiding antibiotics unless necessary - and yes, it is okay to let kids get a bit dirty."--Provided by the publisher.
