We present 1H-MRS results from a pilot cohort of newborn infants, acquired on a 7T system. Whilst a customised approach is required for patient preparation and sequence calibrations, our preliminary data points to highly improved sensitivity and data quality at ultra-high field compared to typical spectra from adults at the same field or newborn infants at lower field strengths. We also report initial estimates of T1 and T2 for the main metabolites in the neonatal brain at 7T.
