This study looks at tiny skin samples from babies to find clues about eczema. It uses a gentle, painless device that sucks up a small piece of skin. If your baby has eczema or is healthy and under 6 months old, you may be able to join.
This study is testing whether special skin care routines in the first year of life can help prevent allergies and skin problems in babies who are at higher risk. It might be a good fit if your baby is a healthy full-term newborn and has at least one risk factor, like being an only child or having a family history of allergies or asthma.
This trial looks at how skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby affects healthy newborns. It aims to understand possible health benefits for babies born at full-term and without complications.
This study looks at how newborns’ brains develop and how they respond to an intervention. It helps researchers understand brain organization in individual babies so care can improve in the future.
This study tests whether gentle infant massage can reduce swelling (lymphedema) and improve comfort in preterm babies. If your baby has lymphedema and is stable enough, massage may help them feel better and reduce fluid buildup.
This study tests whether gentle massage can help newborns who are on nasal CPAP (a breathing support machine). If your baby is stable, born at 34 weeks or later, and started CPAP in the last 24 hours, this trial may be an option for you.
