Few gifts we give our children have as positive an impact as breastfeeding,
because breastfeeding not only benefits a mother and child, it benefits
society as a whole. Studies have shown that:
- Breastfed babies are healthier and smarter, with fewer hospital
readmissions and pediatrician visits.
- Premature infants who are fed breast milk go home sooner and with
fewer illnesses than formula-fed babies.
- Breastfeeding reduces formula demand of government programs like
WIC, which distributes millions of dollars in formula annually.
But all this comes at a price. To continue to reach every family that needs
our guidance, we need your support. Every $100 donated to BELLAS
sponsors a mother and baby throughout the duration of breastfeeding,
including prenatal classes, hospital and home visits, and counselor support.
To learn more about BELLAS and how your tax-deductible donation can give a child a healthier start at life, email us. Help us nurture the future, one baby at a time. Healthy eating begins at birth.

In 1997, I became a BELLAS counselor
and found it so rewarding to watch the
mother-child bond. And I was amazed to
see how much stronger the breastfed babies
in ICU were. Then, when my son was born
premature, I really leaned the importance
of the BELLAS program.”
