Historically they get the intestine flora during the delivering of the baby when the mother often defecate due to the pain and intense labor.
Or maybe also by contact with her body just outside the vagina.
This is often problem today with procedures to sterilize the mothers body, especially the lower parts. They also gives the mother enemas to avoid defecation during birth.
This can result in causing the baby to have an abnormal bacterial flora with a predominance of streptococcus, a bacteria commonly found on the skin.
