Probiotics for healthy gut development in newborns
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study gives a probiotic (a type of healthy bacteria) to newborn babies to see if it helps their gut develop in a healthy way. Your baby would get the probiotic drops and you would collect stool samples to track how their gut bacteria grow.

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 tests whether giving healthy babies a daily probiotic supplement helps their gut bacteria develop in a healthy way. It compares two probiotic strains to a placebo (a supplement with no active ingredients).
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 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.
