Very recent father who asked to have his son seeded after a unplanned c section here. Iv followed a lot of recent micro biome research and it does seem weird to think there is any downside to doing this given that a vaginal birth contains a lot more of the same seeding microbes. GBS seems overblown but you could still pre test for that earlier in pregnancy if you want to play it that way.

Baby Koalas literally cannot digest eucalyptus leaves unless they get the microbes from eating their mothers faeces after birth. Mammalian microbe seeding during birth, is likely critical to our evolutionary history.
