Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a microbiome analysis, education, and recommendation program can improve gut health, reduce future health risks, and empower parents in their children's health in infants aged 0-3 months delivered via Cesarean section. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the intervention increase bacteria considered beneficial, decrease the C- section microbiome signatures, promote a reduction in opportunistic pathogens, and improved functional potential for HMO digestion and SCFA production Will the intervention decrease microbiome signatures associated with atopic march conditions. Researchers will compare participants in the intervention arm, who will receive microbiome reports, personalized action plans, and educational materials, to participants in the control arm, who will receive microbiome results and educational materials after the study's completion, to see if the intervention leads to improved gut health and reduced risk of health conditions. Participants will: * Provide two microbiome stool samples three months apart. * Receive detailed infant gut health reports via the Tiny Health app. * Receive personalized action plans tailored to their infant's gut health needs. * Engage in gut health coaching sessions with a microbiome expert. * Receive an educational email series on infant gut health. * Complete a series of surveys/questionnaires on health history, symptoms, and diet. This study seeks to demonstrate that targeted microbiome interventions can significantly improve early infant gut health, leading to potential long-term health benefits. These benefits may include reduced healthcare costs by lowering the incidence of related chronic conditions. By establishing a foundation for mitigating these conditions, the intervention could consequently result in fewer doctor visits, reduced need for medications, and a lower incidence of hospitalizations over the first 3-4 years of the infant's life.
