Prenatal Microbiome Test: What Your Baby's Microbiome Reveals for Health

Discover how your baby's microbiome may shape immunity, digestion, and lifelong health. A prenatal microbiome test can reveal how maternal gut and vaginal microbes influence the initial microbial exposure your baby receives, laying the foundation for immune development and digestion in the first months of life. Understanding these signals helps families and clinicians tailor care during pregnancy and plan early infancy strategies that promote balanced microbiome formation and long-term health. What a prenatal microbiome test can reveal is broad: it maps the composition and stability of maternal microbiomes, the functional potential of microbial communities, and how those patterns relate to infant health outcomes. Through InnerBuddies’ platform, you get a Gut Microbiome Health Index—a 0 to 100 score representing overall gut ecosystem health based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The test also presents Bacteria Abundances for a top 40 list, comparing maternal or infant samples to a healthy reference, and Bacteria Functions categorized as positive or negative—so you can see where functional pathways might support or hinder immune maturation and digestion. All of this is powered by InnerBuddies, a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed for companies to power their gut microbiome testing products. The solution is modular and built to scale: Target Group analysis dives into microbiome patterns relevant to specific populations, from Healthy Aging and Endurance Sport to Skin & Hair Health, and more recently maternal and infant health scenarios. It also offers personalized nutrition advice by correlating 3-day food diaries with stool data, and tailored probiotics and prebiotics recommendations that match your unique microbiome profile. InnerBuddies also delivers consumer-ready solutions alongside B2B offerings. You can explore the same robust insights via direct consumer testing with their product line, or partner with InnerBuddies to customize a white-label solution for your brand.
