How starting solid foods affects baby's gut bacteria
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how starting solid foods (complementary feeding) affects the bacteria in a baby's gut. By collecting stool samples and answering questions, you can help researchers understand how early diet shapes a baby's health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby is healthy and was born at full term (at least 37 weeks).
- Your baby is either breastfed, formula-fed, or a mix of both.
- Your baby does not have digestive or immune system conditions, food allergies, or intolerances that restrict feeding.

This study looks at tiny molecules in breast milk called microRNAs and how they affect the healthy bacteria in a baby's gut. If you join, researchers will follow you and your baby from late pregnancy through the first 60 days after birth to see how feeding choices shape your baby's gut health.
This trial tests a new infant formula to see if it helps babies' digestion and overall gut health. The formula is the only food the baby gets during the study.
This study looks at how the bacteria in caregivers' guts might be affected by working with infants under 6 months old, especially when changing diapers. It aims to understand how infant diet and caregiving might influence the spread of resistant bacteria.
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 mothers online education about introducing solid foods helps with their baby's development and eases mom's anxiety. If you're a Turkish-speaking mom with a healthy baby who hasn't started solids yet, this could help you feel more confident.
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.
