The incredible progress in the care and treatment of small and very small preterm infants presents new challenges for nutrition and care. Nestlé Nutrition has long been committed to researching and developing products to meet specific nutritional needs. To this end, it established the world’s largest research center in the field, along with an international collaboration network of doctors and scientists. The resulting solutions can be tailored to meet precise nutritional requirements, such as the special stage concept designed to address the evolving needs of a developing preterm infant. Nestlé Nutrition has also developed a hydrolyzed protein that provides proven allergy prevention.

 

The first small patient ever given Henri Nestlé’s “infants’ flour” was, in 1867, a preterm infant doctors had already given up on. Little Charles Wanner went on to live more than sixty years.
