This French non-interventional, cross-sectional, and multicenter study was conducted among private-outpatient physicians who each included four consecutive patients aged up to 12 months. The frequency of FGIDs was described using the ROME IV criteria versus clinicians' diagnosis. The characteristics of infants with and without FGID were compared, and the management of the FGIDs was described. In the 1722 infants analyzed, the following frequencies were observed according to the ROME IV criteria versus the physicians' diagnosis: regurgitation 41%
