嬰兒腸道微生物群研究
Leche與Tiny Health發佈捐贈母乳臨床研究
Leche 與 Tiny Health 宣布展開一項聯合臨床研究，探討其捐贈母乳合作計劃對配方奶餵哺嬰兒腸道健康的影響，是首批將現代微生物組學應用於捐贈母乳的研究之一。研究將評估在配方奶餵哺中每日加入少量 Leche 的常溫保存粉狀捐贈母乳，能否為 100 名健康足月嬰兒的腸道細菌組成帶來可測量的變化。
Tiny Health 將採用鳥槍法宏基因組學技術，於入組時及補充一個月後檢測嬰兒的腸道微生物組，觀察雙歧桿菌是否有所增加，以及腸道模式是否更趨近母乳餵哺型態。
Leche 與 Tiny Health 的合作顯示，新興的微生物組研究可能為捐贈母乳在嬰兒餵養方式中，帶來超越傳統「母乳與配方奶」二元對立的、具實證基礎的可信角色。
英文原文
Leche and Tiny Health announced a joint clinical study examining how their donor milk collaboration affects gut health in formula-fed infants, marking one of the first studies to apply modern microbiome science specifically to donor breast milk. The research will assess whether adding a small daily amount of Leche's shelf-stable powdered donor milk to formula feeds produces measurable changes in gut bacterial composition among 100 healthy, full-term babies.
Using shotgun metagenomics, Tiny Health will test infants' gut microbiomes at enrollment and again after one month of supplementation, looking for increases in Bifidobacterium and shifts toward a more breastfed-like pattern.
Leche and Tiny Health show how emerging microbiome research could give donor milk a credible, evidence-based role in infant feeding routines beyond the traditional breast-versus-formula binary.
