Please help. Do C-section babies need different vaccinations or extra supplements to catch up on immunity? If yes, what type of vaccinations or supplements will be good to give my little one?

Same vaccinations, encourage uptake of optional vaccines (influenza, chickenpox) to maximise protection against infection. Supplements - probiotics, to optimise infant's gut microbiome which is different in C-section babies vs vaginally delivered babies.
