Probiotics to prevent allergies in breastfed newborns
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving probiotics (beneficial bacteria) to newborns who received antibiotics early in life can help prevent allergic diseases. The trial involves healthy breastfed infants and follows them to see if probiotics reduce allergy development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 37–40 weeks of pregnancy (full-term or nearly full-term)
- Your baby's birth weight is average for their age (between 10th and 90th percentile)
- Your baby is exclusively breastfed and you plan to breastfeed for at least 3 months
- Your baby is less than 35 days old at the time of enrollment
- Your baby did not receive probiotics in the 2 weeks before joining, and you have not taken probiotics in that time

This study looks at how antibiotics taken during pregnancy might affect the bacteria in your baby's gut. Researchers want to learn if this early exposure influences your baby's health.
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.
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.
This study looks at how taking antibiotics during late pregnancy affects a baby’s early immune protection, with breastfeeding as an important factor. You may be able to join if you plan to breastfeed and either received antibiotics for at least 7 days after 32 weeks or did not receive such antibiotics during pregnancy.
This study explores how antibiotics given during delivery affect a baby's gut bacteria and long-term health. If you are pregnant or just gave birth and received antibiotics during labor, you and your newborn may be able to join.
