NCT ID NCT04017520

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study followed 221 breastfeeding mothers and their babies to see if small molecules called microRNAs in breast milk are linked to allergies, eczema, or wheezing in the first year of life. Researchers measured these molecules in milk samples and tracked babies' health. The goal is to understand how breast milk may influence a child's immune system, but this study does not test any treatment.
