Probiotic study for infants who had antibiotics at birth
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
