Diaries were included in the analysis if product intake was recorded for at least 3 days. The data were analyzed using a t test for each comparison of interest.

15% FERM = infant formula consisting of 15% fermented infant formula; 50% FERM = infant formula consisting of 50% fermented infant formula; scGOS/lcFOS = short-chain galacto-oligosaccarides and long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides.
