Probiotics and Newborn Gut Health
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a probiotic supplement (beneficial bacteria) affects the development of a newborn's gut bacteria in the first weeks of life. Researchers want to understand if giving probiotics early helps establish a healthy gut.
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 had an Apgar score of 7–10 at 5 minutes after birth (a standard newborn health check)
- You plan to breastfeed your baby
- You can start the study within 72 hours of your baby's birth
- You're willing to collect stool samples and keep a daily study diary for the duration of the trial
- Your baby was born by planned C-section or vaginal delivery and has no major birth defects or medical complications

This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
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.
This trial tests whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement can help with growth, digestion, and gut health in healthy full-term babies who were born by C-section.
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 study looks at the gut bacteria of healthy, full-term newborns whose parents plan to breastfeed exclusively. It aims to understand how the gut microbiome develops in early 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.
