Avocado for healthy growth in Hispanic infants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if feeding avocado to Hispanic infants when they start solids helps their gut health and development. We need families who are ready to offer avocado regularly for about 6 months, starting when their baby is around 6 months old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be 4 to 6 months old now, born full-term (at least 37 weeks), and of Hispanic/Latino background.
- You must be willing to start feeding your baby avocado around 6 months of age and keep it up for 6 months.
- At least one parent or caregiver at home has completed 8th grade or higher.
- Neither parent has a known avocado or latex allergy (or if so, your doctor can clear the baby).
- The baby was not born with serious health problems or delayed development, and birth weight was between about 5.5 and 8.8 pounds.
