NCT ID NCT06208085

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether breastfeeding mothers who eat one avocado daily for 12 weeks can increase important nutrients in their milk, like choline and lutein, which help baby brains grow. About 88 healthy moms and their 3-month-old infants will take part. Researchers will test the babies' memory and thinking skills at 4.5 and 6 months old, and compare them to a group that doesn't eat avocados.
