About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to study growth (weight gain per day) in healthy full-term infants who consume the investigational infant formula containing beneficial ingredients against infants consuming a control infant formula.

The key secondary outcome is to study sIgA levels from faecal samples at endline while controlling for baseline levels.

Parents of the enrolled infants will be asked to complete a diary, let their infant undergo physical examinations and complete questionnaire and feed their infant the assigned infant formula
