Answer the following question given this paragraph: Gastrointestinal and Urinary Adjustments In adults, the gastrointestinal tract harbors bacterial floratrillions of bacteria that aid in digestion, produce vitamins, and protect from the invasion or replication of pathogens. In stark contrast, the fetal intestine is sterile. The first consumption of breast milk or formula floods the neonatal gastrointestinal tract with beneficial bacteria that begin to establish the bacterial flora. The fetal kidneys filter blood and produce urine, but the neonatal kidneys are still immature and inefficient at concentrating urine. Therefore, newborns produce very dilute urine, making it particularly important for infants to obtain sufficient fluids from breast milk or formula. Q: The first consumption of breast milk or formula floods the baby's gastrointestinal tract with what? Choices: - hemoglobin - nerves - enzymes - beneficial bacteria A:
