Bacteria in breast milk of NICU mothers
Treatments studied
This study looks at the bacteria naturally found in breast milk. Researchers want to learn more about the germs in milk from mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You gave birth at CHSF (or another hospital) and your baby is in the CHSF neonatal intensive care unit.
- You want to give your breast milk to your baby.
- You did not take any antibiotics in the 3 months before giving birth (except antibiotics given through an IV during labor).
- You and your baby's other parent have agreed to join the study.

This study looks at tiny molecules in breast milk called microRNAs and how they affect the healthy bacteria in a baby's gut. If you join, researchers will follow you and your baby from late pregnancy through the first 60 days after birth to see how feeding choices shape your baby's gut health.
This study looks at the natural bacteria and germs in a premature baby's airways to see if they can help predict whether the baby will develop a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal is to find early clues that help doctors take better care of these babies.
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 whether special nutrition can help babies born by C-section grow and develop well. It may help you understand how feeding choices affect your baby's health.
This study looks at the types of bacteria that cause infections in newborns and which antibiotics work best to treat them. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better protect babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
This study looks at the natural content of breast milk from mothers who breastfeed their newborns for at least 6 months. By donating small extra milk samples, you help researchers understand what makes milk so good for babies.
