the study. All participants were given a test follow-on formula (cow's milk based), with added rice
starch. The test formula was advised to be given at night-time for a 7-day period. Sleeping patterns
were recorded 2 days prior to the study and during the 7-day study period. It was shown than II
out of 15 cases (73.3%) had satisfactory results. Two cases (13.3%) were withdrawn from the
study by their parents due to vomiting after taking the formula. We found that both cases deve-
loped concomitant respiratory tract infection one day after starting the study, and 2 cases (13.3%)
were lost to follow-up. In conclusion, the majority of cases showed satisfactory results in terms
of night sleeping pattern after switching to the rice starch added follow -on formula.
