Gut health and sleep study for babies' development
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 34 and 36 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy (for the preterm group), or at 37 weeks or later (for the full-term group)
- Your baby is partially breastfed (receives some breast milk, even if also formula-fed)
- Your baby was not born with a very low birth weight (less than 1500 grams or about 3 pounds 5 ounces)
- Your baby was not exposed to drugs (like cannabis, cocaine, heroin, or alcohol) before birth
- Your baby does not have a diagnosed immune system problem or other serious health condition

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 probiotics (good bacteria) to preterm infants who received antibiotics can help their brain development. Your baby will get either a probiotic supplement or a placebo for 6 months, and we'll check their development.
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 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 special diet plan for preterm infants to help their brains develop better. It aims to see if a tailored diet can improve thinking and learning as the baby grows.
