Introduction: The human microbiota has a fundamental role in the health of the individual. Focusing on maternal and child health, a healthy microbiota participates in good vaginal health, in the prevention of diseases in premature babies and in the health of the lactating breast. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out in which 2643 articles were obtained, which after the applied filters, 32 articles were obtained, of which 8 of them were selected for results. Results: In the application of probiotics in vaginal health, a greater clearance of HPV, less incidence of vaginosis and a clearance of group B streptococcus were found in pregnant women. The probiotics used in preterm infants showed a lower incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, shorter hospitalization time, better tolerance of enteral nutrition, better recovery of birth weight and lower health costs. With regard to mastitis, probiotics show a protective role in the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the breast, a lower rate of mastitis and less breast pain.

There is no doubt that having a baby changes new parent’s lives. Childbirth itself has not changed at all, but for a century many things associated with it have. Advances in maternal – foetal medicine shifted birth from the home to the hospital, requiring more consumer education and preparation. It was in the early 20th century when the first education programs, childbirth and family orientated began to appear. Parental education has had an enormous impact on traditional childbirth. New parents have become more knowledgeable, self confident and participatory in their childbirth experiences, shifting the focus to more family-centred maternity care. Midwives, who are the lead care in the community, are in charge of designing childbirth education programs that provide accurate information concerning pregnancy matters. Taking place both in private and public settings. The purpose of this paper is to develop a childbirth education program structured in 5 theorical sessions and a schematic sketch of the practical part. The sessions will include information regarding changes and nutrition during pregnancy, labour, postnatal care and newborn care.
