The BABIES II study is a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in newborns with an 8½ months intervention period from 14 days of age to 9 months of age followed by a 3-months short-term follow-up period until 1 year of age and a possible long-term follow-up until 18 years of age. The study will evaluate the effect of supplementation with a probiotic strain on different health outcomes.
