Tyler joined our Formula Project in December 2020 at the age of 4 days old. He was born with multiple disabilities such as brain development delay and scoliosis. He was tiny, thin and very weak.
After being provided with @Nestlé-NAN infant formula, he gained almost 2 pounds in 4 weeks. Since all his nutritional needs were being met he started to thrive and keep gaining 1.7 pounds every month!
We are thrilled to see his little cheeks getting chubby and pink. His sweet smile would melt the nanny’s heart every time he finished his whole bottle.
New Day Foster Home’s formula project began because of one little boy. Read his story below.
Jacob came to New Day Foster Home for heart surgery to correct his congenital heart defect. However, when he arrived from the orphanage, he was suffering from malnutrition due to the simple fact that his orphanage could not afford formula. Instead they were feeding their babies cow’ s milk.
Malnutrition made Jacob very susceptible to sickness, and he caught pneumonia and an infection which spread to his already-weakened heart, causing it to enlarge and beat irregularly. Shortly after his arrival at New Day Foster Home, we admitted him into ICU at a Beijing hospital, where he stayed until he recovered from pneumonia and began treatments to bring his enlarged heart back down to its normal size.
Jacob’ s story ends happily, but we know that proper nutrition in this case would have saved Jacob a fight for his life. Jacob’ s story is what started the New Day Formula Project.
