Probiotics for healthy newborns’ poop bacteria balance
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be healthy and aged 1 to 90 days
- Baby must have been born at 37 to 42 weeks pregnancy length
- Birth tests must be normal: APGAR score 7–10 at 1 and 5 minutes
- Parents must agree to the study follow-up steps and sign consent
- Baby must not be in another study and must be available for the whole follow-up period

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 tests whether giving healthy babies a daily probiotic supplement helps their gut bacteria develop in a healthy way. It compares two probiotic strains to a placebo (a supplement with no active ingredients).
This study gives a probiotic (a type of healthy bacteria) to newborn babies to see if it helps their gut develop in a healthy way. Your baby would get the probiotic drops and you would collect stool samples to track how their gut bacteria grow.
This study tests a dietary supplement for healthy newborns to see if it helps them grow well and digest food properly. Researchers will collect stool samples and track the baby's health over time.
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 tests whether giving a probiotic to infants can help their health. It involves pregnant people who plan to breastfeed and give birth at a specific hospital.
