This study tracks how healthy newborns grow when fed a special infant formula (extensively hydrolyzed, meaning the proteins are broken down for easier digestion) over about 4 months. Researchers want to ensure the formula supports normal growth and development in full-term babies.
This trial looks at how premature babies (born between 28 and 31 weeks, 6 days) who weigh 1000–1500 grams grow and handle their feedings. It only includes babies who are exclusively fed their mother's milk or donor human milk and who don't have serious health problems at the start.
This study looks at whether giving a high-calorie oral nutrition supplement helps children aged 1 to 3 years who are undernourished gain weight and grow. You may be eligible if your child has low growth measurements and takes in too few calories for their needs.
This study tests whether a special nutrition supplement can help young children (ages 1–5) who are not growing as expected. Researchers will work with Children International centers in the study area to see if the supplement helps children grow taller and healthier.
This study is testing a new nutritional drink or powder to see if children like it, tolerate it well, and can stick with it. It replaces your child's current supplement with a new one, and researchers will check how it affects their digestion and overall health.
This study tests whether a new infant formula helps toddlers grow well and stay healthy. Researchers will compare infants who receive this formula with others to see if it supports normal development.
