A study to assess and evaluate adequate growth in infants receiving a dairy and plant based infant formula in a real-world setting, and parents' and infants' experiences with this infant formula.
The study collects growth data from 58 participating infants whose parents autonomously decided to use the dairy and plant based infant formula for their infant daily within the first three months of their infant's life, either supplemental to breastfeeding or as sole source of feeding. Parents are asked to complete 2-3 online questionnaires in which data is collected on infant growth (as assessed during regular visits to the Municipal Child Healthcare Clinic), feeding characteristics, parent and infant experience with the product, and whether their infant has been to a doctor or is taking medication.
