IMPORTANCE NOTICE: We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organizations recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with sustained breastfeeding up to two years of age. We also recognize that breastfeeding is not always an option for
parents. We recommend healthcare professionals to inform parents about the advantages of breastfeeding. If parents consider not to breastfeed, healthcare professionals should inform parents that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and that the introduction of partial bottle-feeding will reduce the supply of breast milk. Parents should consider the social and financial implications of the use of infant formula. As babies grow at different rates, healthcare professionals should advise on the appropriate time for a baby to begin eating complementary foods. Infant formula and complementary foods should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby’s health.

👶Infants born via C-section often experience an altered gut microbiota resulting from the interrupted transfer of beneficial bacteria from mother to infant. This disruption leads to a distinct microbiota composition when compared to infants born vaginally.

🦠 Early-life gut microbiota plays a crucial role in developing a robust immune system, and emerging research indicates that it may also influence brain development. Therefore, addressing this imbalance during infancy is essential, as a balanced gut microbiota is vital for overall health.

📢 Discover our latest Learning Lead!
🌟 Did you know that toddlers who consume growing-up milk (GUM) show higher biomarkers for function, immune health, and ?
This finding is especially significant as typical toddler diets and cow's milk consumption often lack essential nutrients like folic acid, iron, iodine, choline, omega-3 fatty acids, and lutein. GUM bridges these nutritional gaps, providing a balanced profile that helps reduce the risk of deficiencies and supports optimal nutrition during this critical stage of development. 🌈🌱

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Optimal nutrition for mothers and their babies during the first 1000 days is fundamental for lifelong health. We believe that the best way to feed a baby is to breastfeed. Breast milk provides the ideal balanced diet and protection against illness for babies. A healthy diet during a mother’s pregnancy and after her delivery helps build up the stores of nutrients needed to support a healthy pregnancy and to prepare and maintain lactation. Deciding not to breast-feed is difficult to reverse and it has social and financial implications. The unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks has a negative effect on breast-feeding. If a mother chooses not to breastfeed, it is important to communicate the messages above and to give instructions on the correct preparation methods, emphasizing that unboiled water, unsterilized bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness for her baby.
