NCT ID NCT07342972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare a goat milk-based infant formula to a standard cow milk formula in 144 healthy babies aged 2 weeks to 3 months. Researchers will track digestive symptoms like crying, spit-up, and stool patterns using special scoring tools. The goal is to see if goat milk formula leads to fewer tummy troubles and better overall tolerance.
