This study looks at how tiny plastic particles in breast milk might affect a baby's growth and development. You may be able to join if you are a new mom who is exclusively breastfeeding without any formula.
This study looks at how antibiotics taken during pregnancy might affect the bacteria in your baby's gut. Researchers want to learn if this early exposure influences your baby's health.
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 follows pregnant people and their babies from the first few months of pregnancy through at least one year after birth. It aims to learn how health and development turn out, especially for mothers who can keep coming to the same clinic for follow-up.
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 explores how antibiotics given during delivery affect a baby's gut bacteria and long-term health. If you are pregnant or just gave birth and received antibiotics during labor, you and your newborn may be able to join.
