Study of mother-to-baby gut germs and baby health
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how germs in a mother can be passed to her baby and whether that affects the baby’s health. If you join, your baby (and the other parent or legal guardian) may be asked to share consent so researchers can follow the pregnancy and early life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how genes and tiny organisms in your body (microbiota) affect early childhood development. It involves storing blood and stool samples from you and your child to help researchers learn more.
This study looks at genetic and other biological information from samples collected from mothers and their babies after birth. It may help researchers understand factors that affect healthy pregnancies and newborn outcomes.
This study follows pregnant people and their babies from the first few months of pregnancy through at least one year after birth. It aims to learn how health and development turn out, especially for mothers who can keep coming to the same clinic for follow-up.
This study follows pregnant people from about 20 weeks until delivery, to understand how gut microbes (tiny organisms in the intestines) develop in healthy babies. It may help researchers learn how early-life gut development affects health later on.
This study looks at how breastfeeding may affect a baby’s gut (digestive) health. It enrolls parents during pregnancy and follows the family after birth to collect information and samples, to better understand what supports healthy development.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of healthy, full-term newborns whose parents plan to breastfeed exclusively. It aims to understand how the gut microbiome develops in early life.
