Summary

This study follows 267 healthy, full-term infants from about 5 to 12 months old to see how different types of baby foods—meat, dairy, plant-based, or home foods—affect their growth and gut bacteria. Researchers will measure weight, length, body composition, and gut microbiome changes. The goal is to provide evidence for future infant feeding recommendations.
