Diet study for brain development in preterm babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diet can help with brain development in babies who were born early and received antibiotics in the hospital. If your baby is now 6 months old and not currently on antibiotics, they may be able to join.
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 a vein for at least 5 days in a row while in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby is now 6 months old (corrected age, plus or minus 7 days).
- Your baby has not taken any antibiotics by mouth or through a vein in the last 14 days.
- You are willing to follow the study diet and visit schedule for 6 months.

This study tests whether giving special beneficial bacteria (probiotics) to premature babies who received antibiotics in the hospital can help their brain and nervous system develop better. Researchers will follow your baby for 6 months to see if probiotics improve development.
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 study tests whether two types of probiotics (good bacteria) given to healthy babies under 6 months can help their gut microbiome develop. It compares probiotics to a placebo (inactive product).
This study is testing whether giving a special probiotic mixture (called NapBiome) to babies can help their gut health, sleep, and brain development. It looks at both preterm and full-term babies who are partially breastfed.
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 tests whether giving a prebiotic (a food ingredient that supports gut health) affects digestion in healthy toddlers. It focuses on children who are in daycare and have normal bowel habits, to see if the gut responds well.
