NCT ID NCT07608341
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether daily probiotic drops plus vitamin D3 can improve early gut bacteria in healthy babies born by C-section. 150 infants will receive either probiotic or placebo drops for 8 weeks, with stool samples and questionnaires. Results will be compared to vaginally born babies. The goal is to see if probiotics can help C-section infants develop a healthier gut microbiome.
