NCT ID NCT05783037
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether healthy full-term babies fed a new organic cow's milk formula grow at the same rate as babies fed an existing formula. It also included a group of breastfed babies for comparison. About 394 infants participated, and researchers measured weight gain, length, and head circumference over time.
