Brief Summary

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

Multi-country, cross-sectional, observational study in diverse geographic locations all over the world.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a cross-sectional single time point study. Infants and caregivers who come to a clinic for a routine health visit who wish to participate in the study by signing the consent form and meet all inclusion criteria/exclusion criteria will be enrolled.

At the visit, a research staff member will assist the parents to complete (i) Feeding Practice and Gut Comfort Questionnaire and (ii) Infant Gastrointestinal Symptom (IGSQ)-13 items. Additionally, infant's anthropometrics (weight, length, head circumference) will be recorded. These anthropometrics will be measured by the researcher as part of the routine visit.
