Nutricia Milupa GmbH is a funding and expert partner to the Josef Ressel Centre for research into predisposition to perinatal metabolic programming of obesity. The company is the leading expert in nutrition for the first 1000 days. For over 40 years it has worked at its own breastfeeding research centre, the Nutricia Research Centre in Utrecht, to discover the ideal form of nourishment from the start of pregnancy through to early childhood, acknowledging that the gold standard, breast milk, can never be achieved by industrial means.
What makes this research so innovative is the focus it places on the very first phase of life, from pregnancy to the first two years of the child’s life, and the multidimensional approach taken to the mother-child unit. Consequently, the approach is strongly interdisciplinary, involving experts in the fields of midwifery, medicine, care, nutrition, psychology, biomedical science and IT.
