Study of how early pregnancy choices affect your baby
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how “perinatal programming” (early-life influences starting around pregnancy and the first month) may affect babies. It enrolls healthy, full-term births and compares families who can follow an all-breastfeeding or all-formula plan.
