This project aims to examine whether maternal probiotic supplementation promotes an enhanced immunomodulatory breastmilk composition likely to promote infant oral tolerance, and reduce food allergy in breastfed children.
Spanning across 15 countries, this study is exploring how breastmilk supports good bacteria in the infant gut and how this relationship programs the developing immune system.
SYMBA is promoting gut health (symbiosis) with prebiotic fibre taken during pregnancy for prevention of allergic disease.
This sub-project will be using ORIGINS data to explore the risk and protective factors of obesity from birth to early childhood.
Can baby’s early movements predict learning difficulties later in childhood?
The Antenatal Colostrum Expression (ACE) Study aims to determine whether hand expressing of colostrum in the last few weeks of pregnancy can help new mothers to breastfeed.
RHINO researchers from The Kids' Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre, will analyse ORIGINS data and turn it into meaningful respiratory and allergy outcome data that can be used by researchers around the world.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood can involve many new challenges.
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common nutritional deficiency affecting young children. Serum ferritin concentration is the preferred biomarker for measuring iron status because it reflects iron stores; however, blood collection can be distressing for young children and can be logistically difficult. A noninvasive means to measure iron status would be attractive to either diagnose or screen for ID in young children.
