The Bugs & Bumps Study is an online dietary program designed with dietitians to help improve your diet. We are testing the effects the program might have on prenatal wellbeing and child emotional and brain development over the first 18 months of life, as well as understanding whether gut bugs play any role in this.

Study progress: the Bugs & Bups Study completed participant recruitment in July 2025.
