Testing stomach emptying after formula in babies
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be fed formula (not breastmilk feeding as the main feeding).
- Baby must be a full-term newborn (post-menstrual age at least 36 weeks) aged 0 to 5 days, OR be a healthy infant aged 4 to 6 months or 9 to 12 months.
- Baby should not have needed help at birth (resuscitation) after delivery.
- Baby should not have been in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) or had any hospital admission.
- Baby should have no history of reflux or other feeding problems.
- Baby should not be taking medicines that change stomach emptying, such as opioid pain medicines or antacids.

This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. It aims to understand and possibly improve feeding tolerance in these patients.
This study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
This study checks how a child's stomach empties after they receive emergency fluids for severe blood loss from an injury. It uses a safe ultrasound scan of the belly to see if the treatment affects digestion.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
