Active Research

To advance infant feeding knowledge, evolve policies & products, and adapt evidence-based practices we have to start with data. Bobbie Labs is proud to support the following research via academic collaborations, independent research, and grant-funded work. Studies that are actively recruiting are noted below, we invite you to evolve the field of infant feeding by participating.

Does Paced Bottle-Feeding Improve the Quality and Outcomes of Bottle-Feeding Interactions?
Few studies look at healthy bottle-feeding practices. This research study will test the popular (but not evidence-based) approach of Paced Bottle Feeding to better understand whether this method of feeding is an effective way to support responsive bottle-feeding during early infancy.

Effects of Early Iron Exposure on the Gut Microbiota Development in Newborn Infants
Current US infant formula iron recommendations were developed over two decades ago. We have since learned more about iron absorption and possible harms of excess iron intake. In older infants and young children, inappropriate iron supplementation can result in inflammation and more growth of unhealthy gut bacteria. This study will explore the impact of formula iron levels in early infancy.

Impact of infant feeding expectations vs. reality on maternal mental health.
Feeding a newborn is complex and often does not go as planned. This study looks at the expectations first-time moms had about their feeding journeys during pregnancy, how that compared to the realities of their newborn’s feeding journey, and whether this impacted their postpartum mental health.

Survival of bioactive milk protein across digestion in preterm infants fed with fresh human milk plus bovine milk fortifier.
Human milk contains hundreds of complex proteins that can have an impact on infant health. To have a functional effect, these proteins need to survive intact within the baby’s digestive system. This research project will identify which milk proteins survive in the infant's intestine and have potential to be biologically relevant within the gut.
