Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to describe the pattern of RIF consumption in real life conditions, whatever the reasons of initiation and the chosen formula. The main objective is to study the reasons for prescribing a RIF during the first year of life, as per the pediatrician. Consumption started before 6 months of age, when milk and infantile formulas predominates in the baby's feeding, is of particular interest.

Detailed Description

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

The main purpose of this study is to describe the pattern of RIF consumption in real life conditions, whatever the reasons of initiation and the chosen formula. The main objective is to study the reasons for prescribing a RIF during the first year of life, as per the pediatrician. Consumption started before 6 months of age, when milk and infantile formulas predominates in the baby's feeding, is of particular interest. Secondary objectives are to describe the modalities of feeding before, during and after consuming the RIF, to describe the growth of children who have consumed a RIF for at least 1 month, on the basis of anthropometric data collected during the first year of life. As a second intention, this study also aims to monitor the evolution of child's digestive and allergic symptoms, if any, and the sociodemographic characteristics of the infant's family.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Rice infant formula started before age of 6 months

After inclusion (V1), infants will return for a V2 visit at 12 months (± 30 days) of age (according to the child's regular appointment calendar). No visit is imposed by the protocol.

Anthropometric data from visits to the pediatrician carried out between V1 and V2 will be collected from medical records, as well as the date of cessation of RIF, if applicable.

Retrospective data will be collected from medical files (anthropometric data, medical and feeding history) and from parents' and investigator's recall.

Rice infant formula

Intervention Type OTHER

Any commercially available rice infant formula whom the pediatrician has previously deemed, or is deeming it useful to consume.
