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 special stool transplant (fecal microbiota) to healthy babies born by C-section can improve their health. It aims to see if this treatment helps replace good bacteria that are normally passed during a vaginal birth.
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 giving probiotics to healthy newborns changes the bacteria in their stool. It may help researchers understand early gut health, but it is only for babies who meet specific health and timing requirements.
This study looks at whether special nutrition can help babies born by C-section grow and develop well. It may help you understand how feeding choices affect your baby's health.
