In this study, the investigators aim to assess that infants with mild symptoms have significantly less (severe) symptoms after 14 days goat milk-based formula use compared to infants using cow's milk-based formula supplemented with probiotic drops.
Anecdotal evidence shows that the use of goat milk-based infant formula decreases discomfort of infants with cow's milk related symptoms. In this randomized controlled pilot study, the effect on comfort during usage of goat-milk based infant formula is studied. Twenty formula fed infants (aged between 6 weeks and 3 months) who experience mild discomfort will receive goat milk-based infant formula (GMF) or cow's mik based infant formula supplemented with probiotics lactobacillus reuteri drops (CMFp). The infants will be assessed by a local paediatricians using the Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS). This is a fast, non-invasive and easy-to-use and validated questionnaire to assess infant's reaction to proteins found in cow's milk. The higher the score, the more sensitive the child is to cow's milk proteins, the maximum score is 33 points. Infants with a CoMiSS Score between 6 and 12 will be enrolled in this study. It is expected that infants will have a better response to GMF, which will result in a decrease of the CoMiSS Score after a 2 weeks intervention.
