Babies pick up "friendly" bacteria on the way out, so to speak - assuming they come out the normal way. Otherwise they pick them up quickly from human contact.

On birth humans or any other feti are completely clean - if you leave out mother-induced illnesses like HIV (sg) or similar. The gut gets populated in the first few days - weeks? help, obstetricians -. And they come in to stay. I guess we could live without those gut microbes, but it would probably be a never ending diarroea. Once I got a violent case of it - two weeks after coming back from India -. Just the wrong type of E. coli invaded an interesting white-skinned stranger. Nothing matches a personal experience - I can very well understand since what WHO says about cholera and bad water being a top priority health problem worldwide.
