Human Milk Research

Human milk is the best source of nutrition for all infants, and breastfeeding has numerous short- and long-term benefits for both infants and mothers. Danone Research & Innovation supports breastfeeding by investigating the unique complexities of human milk. We want to better understand its composition and related benefits so we can use it as inspiration to develop innovative nutritional options for mothers who are unable to fully breastfeed.
