Study: Air purifier use at daycare centres cut kid...
What is the primary source of the bacteria? Is it somehow the vagina/labia itself?
It seems C-section would have about as much overall fluid exchange, if not more.

I believe some of it is from the rectum, which you wouldn’t get from a c-section.

No, it's the vagina itself which is heavily colonized with bacteria (lactofermenting bacteria and friends). With a C-section you're removing the baby directly from the amniotic sac into the world.
