What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate how early nutrition, particularly breastfeeding, affects gut health in children from birth to four years of age. A cohort of newborns will be recruited at birth, with data collected on parental nutritional habits, breastfeeding duration, and complementary feeding practices. Biological samples, including cord blood and stool, will be collected at various intervals to assess gut health through fecal secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels and digestive symptoms. The study seeks to provide detailed insights into the relationship between breastfeeding practices and gut health outcomes in early childhood.
