NCT ID NCT05111990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a mother's health affects the makeup of her breast milk and how that, in turn, influences her baby's metabolism and gut bacteria. Researchers are collecting milk, blood, and urine samples from 168 mothers and their infants in Denmark. The goal is to better understand these connections, which could lead to improved breastfeeding guidance in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help us understand how a mother's health influences her breast milk and her baby's development, potentially guiding future nutrition recommendations.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It aims to gather knowledge, not test a therapy, so there is no direct benefit to participants. Results may not lead to immediate changes in practice.
