Toni Harman on the Infant Microbiome and Empowering Parents Worldwide

09th September 2025
Filmmaker Toni Harman explores the infant gut microbiome, breastfeeding, and simple parent choices, plus her global campaign to share free resources worldwide.

In this interview, filmmaker Toni Harman - creator of Microbirth - shares how her films and global campaigns have raised awareness of the infant gut microbiome.

She explains the process of “seeding and feeding” during birth and breastfeeding, and why these early stages are critical for a child’s lifelong health. Harman also highlights the everyday actions parents can take to support microbial diversity, from diet and sleep to time in nature and contact with pets.

With her new global impact campaign offering free resources and screenings, she emphasises the power of informed choice — encouraging parents to ask better questions, explore the science, and take small steps that can make a big difference for future generations.
