Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess stool consistency, in combination with additional health-related parameters including gastrointestinal tolerance and health-related quality of life, in a large sample of Chinese infants. We will also assess the timing of, frequency, and reasons for changes in the choice of formula or method of feeding among infants in this sample, as well as incidence of common infant illness and associated healthcare usage. Anthropometric measures and the frequency and duration of physician- and parent-reported gastrointestinal and other adverse events will be evaluated.
