Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at tiny molecules in breast milk called microRNAs and how they affect the healthy bacteria in a baby's gut. If you join, researchers will follow you and your baby from late pregnancy through the first 60 days after birth to see how feeding choices shape your baby's gut health.
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 trial tests whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement can help with growth, digestion, and gut health in healthy full-term babies who were born by C-section.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of infants born by C-section. Researchers want to learn how the microbiome develops in healthy babies who have not taken probiotics.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of the mother's vaginal bacteria to babies born by C-section can help restore their gut microbiome. It may reduce the risk of allergies and other immune-related conditions later in life.
This study looks at whether they can safely place “healthy vaginal bacteria” from the mother into the newborn after a scheduled C-section, and whether it improves the baby’s health. It only enrolls certain mothers and babies based on infection testing and other health factors.
