Restoring gut bacteria after C-section birth
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of the mother's vaginal bacteria to babies born by C-section can help restore their gut microbiome. It may reduce the risk of allergies and other immune-related conditions later in life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having a planned C-section after 38 weeks of pregnancy.
- You speak and understand Danish fluently.
- You are carrying only one baby.

This study is testing whether giving a special transplant of healthy bacteria from the mother's gut can help improve the gut health of babies born early (preterm). It is for pregnant women at high risk of preterm labor between 29 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
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 tests whether giving donor breast milk to full-term babies born by C-section can improve their gut health. If your baby was born by C-section and you plan to breastfeed, this trial may be a good fit.
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 healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
This trial tests whether giving a special stool transplant (fecal microbiota) to healthy babies born by C-section can improve their health. It aims to see if this treatment helps replace good bacteria that are normally passed during a vaginal birth.
