HMO formula study for healthy newborns
Treatments studied
This study tests whether adding two special sugars found in breast milk (called HMOs) to baby formula helps Chinese infants grow and digest food better. It compares formula with HMOs to standard formula and to exclusive breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new infant formula to see if it helps babies' digestion and overall gut health. The formula is the only food the baby gets during the study.
This study tests a dietary supplement for infants around 5 months old to see if it supports healthy growth and digestion. It may be a good fit if your baby is healthy, full-term, and not currently taking probiotics or certain medications.
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 uses MRI brain scans to look at how “neural flexibility” develops in typically developing toddlers. It compares toddlers who drink a specific formula gum or regular cow’s milk to understand how diet may relate to brain development.
This study tests a new infant formula to see how healthy babies grow and develop. If your baby is healthy, full-term, and formula-fed, they may be able to join.
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.
