Supporting a range of needs

Infant and early life nutrition

Our early life nutrition range supports babies, toddlers and young children through key stages of development, including those with specific dietary needs. What we eat and drink as babies influences our lifelong health. At Danone we aim to positively impact maternal and infant health by promoting and protecting breastfeeding. At the same time, we recognise that every family’s experience is unique. When breastfeeding isn’t possible or isn’t the preferred choice, we provide formula solutions backed by over 50 years of breastmilk research.

Our infant foods for special medical purposes (IFSMP’s) support a range of needs, including the dietary management of cow’s milk allergy, disease-related malnutrition, faltering growth, drug resistant epilepsy or inherited metabolic disorders. feeding intolerance and growth challenges. We comply with strict regulations to market formula and also follow our own global standards and policies.

Adult and medical nutrition

Good nutrition plays a vital role in health, recovery and quality of life - particularly when illness or medical conditions make eating and drinking difficult or even impossible. Through Nutricia Homeward, we support over 32,000 patients at home across the UK, helping them to tube feed safely and independently. We make over 370,000 medical deliveries to patients every year and our team of Homeward Nurses and 24/7 support ensures that patients can continue daily life with dignity and confidence and without unnecessary visits to hospital.

“I love being a nurse as I know I can make a difference. We can’t always make people better, but we can always make them feel better”. – Nutricia Homeward Nurse

We continue to innovate for our patients. For example, we launched a plant-based ready-to-drink Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS) format, which helps to help patients with disease related malnutrition (DRM) get the nutrients they need. Often ONS drinks are dairy-based, but our new plant-based ONS gives a new option for patients who prefer not to or cannot drink milk-based products, such as those with certain cultural beliefs and those following a vegan diet.

We also introduced Nutricia Homeward MyConneX, a tool that empowers patients to simply manage their enteral tube feeding online. Our Nutricia Academy also provides free education for healthcare professionals, supporting continuous learning across specialist nutrition fields.

Importance Notice

Breastfeeding is best. Infant milk is suitable from birth, when babies are not breastfed. Follow-on milk is only for babies over 6 months, as part of a mixed diet and should not be used as a breastmilk substitute before 6 months. We advise that the use of formula milks and the decision to start weaning should be made only on the advice of a doctor, dietitian, pharmacist or other professional responsible for maternal and child care, based on baby’s individual needs.

Foods for Special Medical Purposes should only be used under medical supervision. May be suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition for infants from birth, and/or as part of a balanced diet from 6-12 months. Refer to label for details.
