Nutrition for your baby

A complete nutritional programme, matched to your baby's changing needs.

Nutrition for every age

To guide you along the way, the nutritionists at Nestlé Nutrition have developed a programme to help you at each stage of your baby’s development.

The NESTLÉ® DEVELOPMENTAL NUTRITION PLAN (NDNP)™ comes in 4 stages and will help you to:

Meet your baby’s nutritional requirements at each stage of her development.

Train your baby to enjoy different tastes.

Teach your baby good eating habits.

Nutrition especially adapted for your baby

Generally, your baby will be ready to try out more substantial meals and start adjusting to having up to 4 meals a day at around 7 months. She will also be able to wait between meals.


What foods can your baby eat?

Introducing infant cereals with small bits of vegetables or fruits.
You can now introduce cereals into your baby’s diet from the age of 6 months (refer to your doctor for advice). Thanks to the complex carbohydrates they contain, cereals are a good source of energy for your baby. They provide the fuel she needs during the day. They also supply her with vitamins, minerals and iron that she needs for proper growth and development.

Foods in Stage 2

New fruits and vegetables
At Stage 1, your baby will have tasted several types of fruits and vegetables. When she enters Stage 2, your baby will sample new tastes and discover the thicker consistency of purées.
Continue to give your baby fruits and vegetables.

New fruits and vegetables:

 Cooked vegetables: onion, broccoli, etc.
 Fruits: strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, papaya, mango, tomato, etc.
 Don’t forget vegetable oil (corn, palm, rapeseed (canola), sunflower, etc.) to provide essential fatty acids for your baby’s well-balanced diet.

NESTLÉ® Rusk, a new treat on your baby’s menu


Now that your baby knows how to hold objects, you can give her NESTLÉ® Rusks as a treat.

Why a need for special biscuits?
Unlike traditional biscuits, NESTLÉ® Rusk is perfectly suited to your baby:
 Its shape is perfect for children to hold in their tiny hands.
 Their texture is suitable for a baby’s eating capabilities.


A few important things to note
For your baby’s own safety, she must be able to:
 Sit up on her own in a high chair.
 Rusk should be fed only to supervised children who are accustomed to chewing solid food.
