Interesting. How do you know this? Is it in animals or some human scenario with natural birth? I thought doctors just plop the baby on the mother's chest.

I study medicine, and during a lecture about intestinal flora my teacher talked about it. The Wikipedia article on vaginal birth also mentions it, though not hypothetical function of the rotation.
