Human Milk Research

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.
