Summary
This study tests whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant to babies born by C-section can improve their gut bacteria and help prevent overweight or obesity later in life. Researchers will track the growth and gut health of 534 infants who receive the transplant shortly after birth. The goal is to see if early intervention can make a lasting difference.
