This study tests whether changing a nursing mother’s diet can improve breast milk “microbiota” (the helpful bacteria community) and support early infant health. You may be asked to follow specific nutrition strategies during the first months after birth.
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.
This study is testing a tool to help new mothers with breastfeeding. If you are pregnant and meet the criteria, you'll get extra support and check-ins for up to a year after delivery.
This study looks at how nutrition affects mothers and their babies during early pregnancy. You may be able to join if you are pregnant early and meet health and MRI safety requirements.
This study looks at whether eating more ultraprocessed foods changes what shows up in breast milk. It may help understand how diet could affect breast milk for full-term babies.
