What your baby eats may shape their brain: 6-Year study reveals

NCT ID NCT00616395

Summary

This study followed 600 healthy infants to understand how different feeding methods—breast milk, milk-based formula, or soy-based formula—affect children's physical growth, body composition, and brain development. Researchers tracked participants from 2 months old until they turned 6 years old, measuring growth patterns and brain function. The goal was to gather knowledge about how early nutrition influences long-term development, not to test a treatment.
