How soon can I start my infant on The Nemechek Protocol to prevent issues?

If there is any suspicion of bacterial overgrowth in the mother or older siblings (since they would also be colonized with the mother’s bacterial blend of my patient, the younger sibling), I generally do not recommend supplementing the newborn infant with inulin unless there are obvious intestine issues, and only after notifying the infant’s pediatrician. I would start with very small doses of 1/64 or less of powdered inulin fiber daily. Fish oil and olive oil are not required since the additional omega fatty acids required from each will be provided through the mother’s breast milk as long as she is taking each. When the child is old enough to eat regular food, I recommend they be supplemented in addition with fish oil and that their food is cooked in COOC-certified extra virgin olive oil to protect them from toxic omega-6 fatty acids that will inevitably seep into their diet.
