This trial studies whether giving probiotic supplements to extremely preterm newborns helps improve health outcomes. It’s meant for babies born very early, and the results could help guide safer early nutrition and care.
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 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).
