Brief Summary

My Baby Biome is an observational study that will use 600 infant stool samples to determine the biomarkers associated with a healthy infant gut. Biomarkers identified in this study will be used to develop precision probiotics and LBPs for improving infant gut health outcomes to the benefit of all infants. Parents will be asked to submit follow-up questionnaires regarding infant immune health to improve insights obtained from the data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Determine the composition of a healthy infant microbiome

    Stool samples will be analyzed for bacterial metagenomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics to define biomarkers (such as bacteria or proteins) that are correlated with healthy infants as defined by the accompanying questionnaire.

    6-12 Months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Evaluate impact of the microbiome on immune adverse events

    7 Years

  • Build a library of samples and data for future research

    6-12 Months

Study Population

It is anticipated that 600 infants will enroll in this study. It is preferred that enrollment is balanced by sex; however, it is not required. All efforts will be made to provide racial/ethnic balance, with a goal of 20% African American and 10% each of patients with Asian or Hispanic descent. Additionally, we will look to maintain a demographic that represents different birth and feeding modes.

You may not qualify if:

  • Infants under 2 weeks or over 2 months old
  • Infants given any antibiotic or probiotic treatments
  • Infants delivered prematurely or admitted to the NICU outside of establishment of normal feeding
  • Infants with mothers under the age of 18
  • Infants with mothers known to have HIV, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or SARS-CoV2
