Beyond networking, the conference also served as an open forum where Nutricare\u2019s partners could hear nutrition experts share the latest research on child development, especially concerning children born by cesarean section.<\/span><\/p>\n Through its useful content, the program provided a comprehensive perspective on the specific nutritional needs of C-section babies and suitable solutions to improve their health during the first years of life.<\/span><\/p>\n C-Section babies and the challenges of a different start<\/b><\/p>\n One of the key topics emphasized by experts at the conference was the difference in the immune system and gut microbiota between vaginally born babies and C-section babies.<\/span><\/p>\n C-section babies often do not come into contact with beneficial maternal \u201cmicrobial armor\u201d during birth because they do not have the opportunity to encounter beneficial bacteria through the mother\u2019s birth canal. They miss this important physiological window, resulting in a microbiota deficiency that can delay immune system development.<\/span><\/p>\n A reduction in beneficial bacteria in a child\u2019s body can increase the risk of digestive diseases, allergies, eczema, and asthma. In the long term, without timely intervention, microbiota imbalance may leave systemic \u201csequelae,\u201d making children more susceptible to long-term immune disorders, obesity, and type 1 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n Nutritional supplementation applying scientific advances to support microbiota balance and immunity in C-Section babies<\/b><\/p>\n To restore the microbiota of C-section babies, breast milk is always the \u201cgold standard\u201d of nutrition, containing HMOs, antibodies, and natural beneficial bacteria that help restore the child\u2019s microbiota in the best possible way.<\/span><\/p>\n When a mother\u2019s milk is delayed or insufficient after a cesarean delivery, the child needs scientifically designed supplemental solutions to restore digestion by rebuilding the intestinal environment, compensating for the microbiota deficiency, and strengthening immune defenses.<\/span><\/p>\n Scientific studies presented at the conference showed that the gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in establishing the foundation of immunity, supporting nutrient absorption, and protecting children against pathogens.<\/span><\/p>\n PhD, MD, Level II Specialist Nguyen Thi Thu Hau \u2013 Head of the Department of Nutrition, Children\u2019s Hospital 2, emphasized the importance of supplementing nutritional components that apply advanced scientific achievements to help balance the microbiota and strengthen immunity in C-section babies.<\/span><\/p>\n A notable example is 6-HMOs \u2013 valuable nutrients structurally similar to HMOs in breast milk, which nourish beneficial bacteria, balance the gut microbiota, and support healthy digestive and immune systems, making them suitable for C-section babies.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the postbiotic Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma (LC-Plasma) was described by PhD, MD Yusuke Ushida \u2013 Director of the Institute of Health Science, Kirin Nutrition Group, Japan \u2013 as one of the latest breakthrough technologies for enhancing immunity in young children.<\/span><\/p>\n The LC-Plasma postbiotic is highly stable and can be stored at room temperature. Once inside the body, it activates pDCs \u2013 the \u201ccommander\u201d cells of the immune system \u2013 thereby broadly activating immune cells to fight pathogens.<\/span><\/p>\n On behalf of Nutricare, Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh \u2013 Chief Executive Officer, shared: \u201cUnderstanding the specific challenges faced by C-section babies, we focus on researching nutritional solutions grounded in modern science. The complex of 6-HMOs, lactoferrin, colostrum, and postbiotics is considered key to compensating for natural deficiencies and supporting children\u2019s comprehensive development from their earliest years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Nutricare\u2019s modern manufacturing process and stringent quality control system also ensure that its products meet high standards and are suited to the physical characteristics of Vietnamese children.<\/span><\/p>\n Steadfast in its journey to advance medical nutrition, with science as the foundation and consumers at the center, Nutricare is gradually realizing its mission of accompanying generations of Vietnamese people toward physical health and mental well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nutricare.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thumbnail-Dantri.jpg\")
