Yes. The children were recruited before birth, breastfeeding strongly  
encouraged by the researchers, and breastfeeding status recorded  
regularly. Samples of breastmilk were taken (among other samples,  
including child's saliva and feces) to examine for the presence of  
probiotic bacteria, as part of the study protocol.

I'm not involved in the study as a researcher, but my son is, as a  
subject.
