This study looks at very young babies to understand early signs of obesity risk. If your baby is under 4 months old and mainly drinks breastmilk, they may help researchers learn more about how body growth and feeding relate to health later in life.
This study tests whether a very low-calorie weight loss program before pregnancy can improve the chance that a child will have a healthier weight later. It follows families and stores samples from the child at home.
This trial looks at how early feeding (breastmilk or formula) affects an infant's immune system and health. Researchers will collect samples and health information from mothers and their babies over time.
This trial studies how special cells in breast milk from mothers with metabolic diseases (like obesity or diabetes) affect infant development and lung infection response after a nutritional intervention. It aims to understand if improving mother's diet can strengthen baby's immune system.
This study looks at the small proteins and peptides in breast milk and how they change over time. It aims to understand the health benefits of these components for breastfed babies, particularly when moms exclusively breastfeed for 4 months.
This study looks at breastfeeding mothers and how a mother’s pregnancy and health factors may relate to a child’s growth and body fat. You might be able to join if you were normal weight or overweight/obese before pregnancy and you meet the pregnancy and delivery health requirements.
