Effects of Complementary Feeding on Infant Growth and Gut Health

Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

Summary

This study plans to learn more about how consuming different foods during the time of early complementary feeding (\~5 to 12 months) affects growth and the development of bacteria living inside your baby's gut through school-age. The results from this study will potentially help to support future recommendations and dietary guidance for infant feeding practices. The three primary aims include: Aim 1. Identify the impact of dietary patterns with different protein-rich foods on infant growth. Aim 2. Identify the impact of dietary patterns with different protein-rich foods on infant gut microbiota development. Aim 3. Identify gut microbial taxa and genes that affect infant growth.
