Nestlé has a strong history of bringing out the very best in babies. It all started in 1867 when a young pharmacist named Henri Nestlé was asked to look in on a neighbor's child who could not breastfeed. He saved the baby's life by creating a special mixture of what would later be recognized as the world's first infant food. Nestlé has been in the business of caring for babies ever since.
