Babylat AG

Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants (<1.5 kg) require up to four times more protein and energy than human milk alone provides. Without adequate fortification, they face poor weight gain and lifelong neurodevelopmental disorders. About 1.5–2% of all newborns fall into this category and need protein-enriched nutrition daily for 2–3 months.
We are developing the BABYLAT Enricher—a novel, automated device that enables hospitals to concentrate the protein and fat fraction from human milk (mother own milk or donor milk) directly on-site. Our proprietary bedside technology allows fast, efficient extraction of human milk protein. No comparable automated solution currently exists on the market. We plan to sell the device and daily filter consumables to large perinatal centers with NICUs.
