Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to demonstrate that healthy term babies who are fed Bobbie's study formula grow at the same rate as those fed with an existing cow's milk formula. Breastfeeding is the ultimate reference for infant nutrition. Therefore, this study also includes a group of breastfed babies for additional comparison.
Detailed Description
This is a 16 week, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial designed to demonstrate that a new infant formula for term infants supports age-appropriate growth. The study has been designed in accordance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines and the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR 106.96
