NCT ID NCT02457338

Summary

This study is testing whether giving a specific probiotic to healthy, breastfed newborns for their first 21 days changes the bacteria in their gut. Researchers will compare babies who get the probiotic to those who don't, checking their stool samples and tracking their general health and digestion. The goal is to understand how this early probiotic affects the baby's developing gut microbiome.
