Diet plan to boost brain development in preterm babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special diet plan for preterm infants to help their brains develop better. It aims to see if a tailored diet can improve thinking and learning as the baby grows.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 28 and 37 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby received antibiotics through an IV for at least 5 days in a row while in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby is now about 6 months old (adjusting for early birth).
- Your baby has not taken any antibiotics in the last 2 weeks.
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect, severe brain injury, or a chronic illness that affects growth.

This study tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to preterm infants who received antibiotics can help their brain development. Your baby will get either a probiotic supplement or a placebo for 6 months, and we'll check their development.
This study tests whether an individualized nutrition plan based on weekly measurements can help preterm infants grow better and improve brain development compared to standard feeding. It is for babies born very early (32 weeks or less) who receive human milk.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
This study tests a special nutrition plan for babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find the best way to feed these tiny newborns to help them grow and develop.
This trial studies whether giving probiotic supplements to extremely preterm newborns helps improve health outcomes. It’s meant for babies born very early, and the results could help guide safer early nutrition and care.
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.
