We’re making science easier for parents to understand. If you’d like to learn more about how you can help support your baby’s immune system, watch our video on tips to boost 9-month-old Lua’s immunity. Using simple language (and a farm animal and flower bulb demonstration), we share the importance of a strong immune system and how nutrition can help.

Watch Machteld, immunologist from Danone Nutricia Research, chat with Kimberly, Ricardo, Yentl and Lua in this video that will help parents and carers understand what can be a very complex subject.

Every feeding journey is unique

 

Not every parent can produce breast milk. No matter what choice you make, we will support your unique feeding journey.  

We at Nutricia believe in providing the best nutrition for babies, which is why we recognise breast milk is uniquely superior for babies as it provides many benefits. It is important that mums have a healthy diet to support breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or partial bottle feed, may reduce breast milk supply making it difficult to reverse. The cost and social implications of using feeding methods should be considered. Always seek professional advice about feeding your baby. Ensure formula is used as directed as improper use can affect baby’s health.

REMEMBER: The information on this page is general only. If you have any concerns about your baby’s poo or questions about constipation or any other health concerns, please speak to a healthcare professional, like a Pharmacist, GP or Maternal Child Health Nurse.
