Pregnancy involves metabolic reprogramming with changes in the composition of the female gut microbiota. There is evidence that maternal gut microbiota is associated with neonatal gut microbiota, and this factor may determine adult health status. Although there is little literature on this topic, high heterogeneity is a limitation when studying nutritionalinterventions. Information was collected to compare the benefits of prebiotic use, especially during pregnancy, possible complications, and the development of the neonatal gut microbiota. The purpose of this brief narrative review is to provide a concise summary of relevant content for searches related to prebiotic use during pregnancy, prenatal and postnatal effects, and clinical decision making in pregnancy management and lactation. is to support . Research has found that maternal nutritional status during pregnancy is key to early microbial colonization of the newborn, so intervention programs from pregnancy may ensure better outcomes for both mothers and offspring. In this sense, prebiotics (administered to nursing mothers or in the form of formula) are a viable and inexpensive element that can prevent allergies, colic, and other illnesses in newborns.
