Rice formula could rival Cow's milk for baby growth
NCT ID NCT07686224
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new infant formula made from hydrolysed rice protein supports healthy growth as well as standard cow's milk formula. Healthy full-term babies are fed exclusively one of the two formulas from about 10 days old until 4 months of age. Researchers track daily weight gain and other growth measures to see if the rice formula is a suitable alternative.
