5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if supplementing healthy term infants delivered vaginally who consume breast milk, formula, or both with a probiotic for 21 consecutive days increases levels of bacteria in infants' stool.
Detailed Description
The purpose of phase 1 of this two phase clinical trial is to determine: 1) the effect of decreasing levels of human milk oligosaccharides on fecal B.infantis during and after 21 days of supplementation with Evolve activated B.infantis using exclusively breastfed, mixed-fed and exclusively formula-fed infants; 2) determine the effect of Evolve activated B.infantis on fecal B.infantis levels in exclusively breastfed infants compared to pre-supplementation levels.

Model Description
The feeding patterns of eighty eligible infants (8 to 12 weeks in age) will be characterized based on a 7-day diet record that will be filled out by their mothers during the 7-day lead-in period starting with Day -7 and ending with Day -1. Of the eighty infants, twenty will be exclusive breast feeders (BF), twenty will be exclusive formula feeders (FF) and forty will be mixed-feeders (MF). Infants in all three feeding groups will consume B. infantis for twenty-one consecutive days. Participants will then enter the observational phase until their infant turns 1 year old.
