NCT ID NCT05505110
First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looks at whether swabbing a C-section baby's nose with a small amount of the mother's vaginal fluids (called vaginal seeding) can safely change the germs in their upper airway. About 20 healthy babies born by C-section will be randomly assigned to get either the real swab or a plain sterile swab. The main goal is to see if this type of study is possible and safe, not to treat any disease.
