The objective of the study is to measure the evolution of the quality of life in infants between 0 and 5 months old, not breastfed and suffering from regurgitation or colic, following nutritional management of these disorders by a preparation for thickened infants, reduced in lactose content and supplemented with Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938. Quality of life is assessed using the QUALIN questionnaire

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of life in infants with regurgitation and colic

    The main endpoint will be an increase in the QUALIN (QUALIté de vie du Nourrison) score on D30 compared to inclusion (D0) according to the 2 groups of patients: regurgitation only and colic only. This score is between -68 to +68. An increase in score means an improvement in symptoms.

    Measured: 4 months
