This study looks at how tiny molecules in breast milk (called microRNAs) affect the bacteria in a baby's gut. It may help us understand why breast milk is so good for babies.
This study looks at how a probiotic supplement (beneficial bacteria) affects the development of a newborn's gut bacteria in the first weeks of life. Researchers want to understand if giving probiotics early helps establish a healthy gut.
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.
