Early-life gut microbiome development is shaped by complex maternal and nutritional influences, yet the temporal and directional structure of these interactions remains unclear. In a longitudinal study of 152 mother-infant dyads in rural Burkina Faso, we examined how maternal gut and milk microbiomes, alongside milk components, influence infant gut microbiome development during the first six months. At 1-2 months, the infant gut microbiome clustered into three types: Escherichia-dominated, Bifid...
