NAN® OPTIPRO®
THE FIRST 1000 DAYS OF LIFE PROVIDE A UNIQUE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE MANY ASPECTS OF LIFELONG HEALTH1-5
In fact, nutrition during this critical window has a profound impact on a child’s lifelong metabolic, immune and digestive health.
While nothing can match breast milk when it comes to infant nutrition, breastfeeding may not be possible for some infants and their mothers.6-8 That’s why our scientists have been working hard to ensure these infants also get the proper foundations they need for lifelong health.
NAN® OPTIPRO® IS OUR SCIENTIFICALLY ADVANCED AGE-ADAPTED FORMULA
It benefits from Nestlé’s continuous research on protein, HMO and probiotics in order to support a child’s healthy development; building their foundations today and well into the future.

SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age.
We also recognize that breastfeeding is not always an option for parents. We recommend healthcare professionals to inform parents about the advantages of breastfeeding. If parents consider not to breastfeed, healthcare professionals should inform parents that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and that the introduction of partial bottle-feeding will reduce the supply of breast milk. Parents should consider the social and financial implications of the use of infant formula.
As babies grow at different rates, healthcare professionals should advise on the appropriate time for a baby to begin eating complementary foods.
Infant formula and complementary foods should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby’s health.
