First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looked at how different infant formulas affect stool composition and digestion in healthy, full-term babies in Taiwan. Researchers compared a standard formula with two new formulas—one with a special fat blend and another with added fiber. The goal was to see if these new formulas could make stool more like that of breastfed babies. The study involved 220 infants and measured stool fatty acids, consistency, and overall tolerance.
