Summary

This study tests a simple, safe way to help babies' guts recover after antibiotics. Researchers will collect a stool sample from healthy infants before they start antibiotics, then give it back to them mixed in milk or formula after treatment. The goal is to restore their unique gut bacteria quickly and reduce the risk of future health problems like allergies, asthma, and obesity. The study involves 100 infants aged 1 month to 4 years.
