NCT ID NCT02665923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses ultrasound imaging to measure how quickly the stomach empties after feeding in healthy newborns and infants. Researchers will watch the stomach shrink back to its starting size after babies drink clear liquids, breast milk, or formula. The goal is to learn normal digestion patterns in children aged 0-5 days, 4-6 months, and 9-12 months.
