Study of how healthy babies’ gut microbes develop from birth
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the gut bacteria (microbiome) develop in babies born early and whether giving a small amount of the mother's stool to the baby (fecal transplant) can help. It might help premature infants have healthier gut bacteria.
This study looks at whether giving probiotics to healthy newborns changes the bacteria in their stool. It may help researchers understand early gut health, but it is only for babies who meet specific health and timing requirements.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
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 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.
This study looks at how things in the environment (like diet, pollution, or lifestyle) and the bacteria in a baby's gut affect health early in life. It is for pregnant women who are in their last month of pregnancy and their newborns.
