Baby & Mi Study Framework. The cohort of women-infant dyads will be classified as either being exposed to intrapartum antibiotics for Group B Streptococcus prophylaxis or unexposed. We will also collect information about other factors hypothesized to impact the intestinal microbiota at birth and during infancy/early childhood. The primary outcome is the intestinal microbiota at 1 year. Secondary outcomes include intestinal microbiota, adiposity and markers of gut and systemic inflammation at 3 years. The hypothesized relationships between these outcomes is shown using arrows
