Human Milk Academy
The nutritional aspects of human milk for babies are a crucial topic for professionals in the field of nutrition. Breastmilk is widely recognized as the ideal source of nutrition for infants, providing essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.
It plays a key role in building a strong immune system, protecting against infections, and reducing the likelihood of obesity later in life.
We fully recognize our responsibility to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in line with WHO/UNICEF recommendations.
Alongside this, Nestlé Research is spearheading scientific research into understanding human milk composition through their groundbreaking LIFE (Lactation for Infant Feeding Expertise) program – with the clear and defined aim of significantly improving the quality of life for mothers and their babies. It's the largest undertaking of its kind in the industry.
