Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When mothers wanted to shift from breast milk to infant formulae, babies were randomly assigned to receive a fermented or a standard formula. Biological and clinical investigations were achieved at baseline (V1), and after one (V2) and three months (V3) of consumption of study formula. Intestinal microbiota was assessed by using culture-dependent techniques.
