1000 DNÍ

The 1000 Days of Life Foundation is a Czech nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting healthy nutrition and development from conception through toddlerhood. Founded in 2014 by Nutricia, now Danone, the foundation works to raise awareness of how nutrition during a child’s first 1,000 days can influence lifelong health. It connects specialists in infant and toddler nutrition with pediatricians and parents across the Czech Republic, helping families make informed choices during this important stage of growth.

The foundation provides educational information organized around key developmental periods, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, the first six months, introducing complementary foods from six to twelve months, and toddlerhood. Its resources explain the role of early nutrition, care, and a supportive environment in children’s physical and mental development. The website also offers videos and information about the NutriCHEQ project. Through collaboration with experts in pediatrics, immunology, and gastroenterology, 1000 Days of Life supports education for both parents and healthcare professionals, with the aim of building stronger foundations for children’s future health.
