Our Mission

What We Do

Mommy's Gift to Me seeks to create a society where all women are inspired, empowered, and enabled to breastfeed their infants. We provide free breastfeeding kits to new mothers to facilitate the ability to breastfeed. By decreasing economic barriers for new mothers, we hope to increase the rate of infant breastfeeding.

Education

Why Breastfeed?

It is recommended that infants are breastfed for the first six months of their lives because of the nutritional and physical benefits for both mother and child. Breastmilk delivers many essential nutrients to infants that contribute to their physical development and strengthen their immune system, decreasing the incidence of many illnesses and diseases. Breastfeeding also improves the post-pregnancy recovery process and reduces the risk of certain diseases for mothers while fostering an emotional bond between a mother and her infant.
