READ THIS BEFORE YOU SHOP ON AMAZON THIS 2021 HOLIDAY SEASON!

DID YOU KNOW….

• While 93% of parents start breastfeeding exclusively at birth in San Diego, only 56% continue doing so at 3 months, largely due to a lack of access and financial resources to ongoing lactation support.

• You can help low-income families and women of color gain access to critical breastfeeding support by purchasing Amazon items online, just by shopping through smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com!

GUESS HOW EASY THIS IS???

We are asking you to take 60 seconds of your time today to designate the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation as your charitable recipient for Amazon Smile.  All you have to do is go to their website (smile.amazon.com) and choose the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation as your Amazon Smile recipient.  Then as you make your holiday purchases, as well as your staples of diapers, nipple cream, baby toys, book, etc, the SDBFC Foundation will receive 0.5% of every purchase, at no extra cost to you.  This money will go directly to paying for lactation consultations for families in need.  

You can also register in the APP!  Open the app and find ’Settings’ in the main menu (☰). Tap on ‘AmazonSmile’ and follow the on-screen instructions to turn on AmazonSmile on your phone.

Your Amazon Smile purchases can help families, like Nohamaly’s, get the breast/chestfeeding support they deserve!

“The San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation saved my breastfeeding journey. I am very grateful to the lactation team for helping me in my journey! I would’ve quit breastfeeding if I did not make an appointment at the center. As a first time mom, I felt lost and did not know where to start, but I left my lactation appointment feeling confident about breastfeeding for the first time since my son was born. Also, the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation was able to offer me the rate of $25 for my appointment, which was extremely affordable. If I had to pay full price I probably wouldn’t have been able to see a lactation consultant.” - Nohamaly

Wishing you all the best during this giving season!

My baby boy was not able to nurse so I chose to exclusively pump for him.  I was struggling with it and Robin came highly recommended to me. Our consultation was great! She really listened to my concerns and was so kind and gentle. She has supported us on our pumping journey and baby has only had breastmilk for 7 months now! Giving my baby the best nutrition was my #1 goal as a new mom and with the help of San Diego Breastfeeding Center it was possible!!! The reduced-rate consultation program they have in place made it very affordable for us. If it wasn't for this program, I'm sure we would not have made it this far. I'm so grateful to be nourishing my child and helping him be incredibly healthy!
