Pre-term
Around 7% of babies are born prematurely in Ireland1. Premature babies have very different nutritional requirements to full term infants as they need to attain the growth that would have occurred in utero, as well as achieve functional development2. Inspired by breastmilk, we are committed to delivering products and services to help preterm babies thrive through appropriate nutritional support.
The first 1,000 days from conception to toddlerhood is a crucial window of opportunity and meeting the nutritional needs of infants during this period will positively influence short and long-term health outcomes3,4.
