Disclosed herein are methods for promoting healthy neural development in an unborn baby, which include administering to a maternal subject gestating the unborn baby a composition or a bacterial composition. Compositions can include trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), 5-aminovalerate (5-AV), imidazole propionate (IP), hippurate (HIP), or a combination thereof, and the bacterial compositions can include bacteria of the order Clostridiales. Also disclosed are methods for conditioning a female subject for bringing about offspring with healthy neural development. Additionally disclosed are methods for reducing adverse effects of antibiotic treatment on an unborn baby in a pregnant subject. Also disclosed are methods for selecting a female subject for conditioning to foster healthy neural development in offspring.
