What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
slower-flow bottle nipple
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help babies learn healthy eating habits and reduce the risk of childhood obesity.
What could go wrong
This is an early behavioral study, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all babies, and the effect on long-term weight is uncertain.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 440 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Mother-infant dyad: The biological mother is the legal guardian of the infant and has custody for ≥5 days per week (in cases of joint custody). 2. Maternal age: Mother is ≥18 years old. 3. Language: Mother understands spoken and written English sufficiently to provide informed consent, answer questionnaires and follow study instructions. 4. Gestational age: Infant was born at 37.0-42.0 weeks gestation. 5. Birthweight: Infant's birthweight was appropriate for gestational age. 6. Bottle feeding: Infant currently receives at least one bottle feeding of ≥2 ounces at least once per week. 7. Residence: Family lives within approximately one hours driving distance of Ann Arbor, Michigan to participate in an at- home appointment or is willing to drive to the U-M North Campus research site. 8. Infant age: Infant is 4.0-6.0 months old at enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current maternal depression or anxiety, as assessed by screening questionnaires, or any cognitive impairment that would limit ability to follow study instructions. 2. Infant developmental delay, genetic condition, or medical problems or diagnosis affecting current or future eating, growth, or development. 3. History of significant sucking or feeding difficulties or breastfeeding difficulties requiring significant medical intervention or support. 4. Current weight-for-age below the 10th percentile or significant history of poor weight gain. 5. Infant already typically uses a slower-flow nipple (flow rate \< 5 mL/min).
