At Nestlé we may be famous for our chocolate, but we started with something much sweeter.
Our company’s roots stretch all the way back to 1867—to the town of Vevey, Switzerland—where a local pharmacist named Henri Nestlé was asked to look in on a neighbor’s child who couldn’t breastfeed. The baby thrived on the special mixture Henri created, and his formula is recognized as the world’s first commercial infant food.
Henri’s discovery marked the beginning of a long tradition of caring and innovation that Nestlé continues today. Nestlé has thousands of research and development professionals worldwide. Which means that every minute of the day, a Nestlé scientist is working to advance the science behind infant nutrition. This commitment to ongoing research has led to innovations like NESTLÉ® GOOD START® infant formulas.
Our latest innovation, GOOD START NATURAL CULTURES™, is the first and only infant formula with beneficial cultures like those found in breastmilk to help support Baby’s healthy immune system. One way these beneficial cultures can help support Baby’s healthy immune system is by increasing levels of key antibodies. Plus, it contains easy-to-digest COMFORT PROTEINS® and DHA & ARA for Baby’s brain and eye development.
GOOD START milk-based formulas are the only formulas that take extra steps to create COMFORT PROTEINS®, made with a patented two-step process. It starts with gentle 100% whey protein, the highest-quality protein available in infant formula. Then we take the extra step to break it down into smaller pieces to be easy to digest. They’re called COMFORT PROTEINS, and only GOOD START milk-based formulas have them. To learn more about 100% whey COMFORT PROTEINS, view a video from Dr. José M. Saavedra, pediatrician.
There's no better formula choice than GOOD START NATURAL CULTURES. It's the only milk-based formula to offer the benefits of beneficial cultures, COMFORT PROTEINS, and DHA & ARA.
In research and development centers around the globe, our scientists continue Henri’s commitment to helping moms everywhere nourish and nurture their little ones.
We’re proud to bring you and your family the very best.
It’s the Good Start that will last a lifetime™.
