NCT ID NCT07665983
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a slower-flow bottle nipple for a few days helps babies drink less milk and develop healthier feeding patterns. Researchers will monitor 440 infants to see if the change affects how much they eat, their sucking behavior, and sleep. The goal is to find a simple way to prevent overfeeding and reduce the risk of childhood obesity.
