Infant Formula

Infant Formula

$35.00

One of every 80 women in Haiti will die in childbirth or due to pregnancy related causes. Children’s Health Ministries provides infant formula to babies whose mothers have passed away or are otherwise unable to breastfeed due to postpartum complications. Infant formula is far out of reach financially for nearly all families, so babies are often given cracker mush or porridge in place of breastmilk. With the blessing of infant formula from CHM, family members are able to provide these babies with optimum nutrition and do not feel the pressure to place the child in an orphanage for lack of resources.

Infant formula is also used in Children’s Health Ministries malnutrition programs to provide healing milk to malnourished babies under 6 months of age.

Give the gift of life this Christmas and share infant formula with a baby in need! Your gift of $35 provides a two-week supply of formula for one baby.

Nidline

Nidline had an incredible and life-saving transformation thanks to infant formula! She was born at home, about two months premature, and miraculously survived 3 weeks at home. When she failed to grow, her parents brought her to another hospital in our area, where she stayed for another two weeks. Finally, this hospital referred her to Children’s Health Ministries’ intensive care facility at 5 weeks old – she was extremely malnourished, dehydrated, and weighed only 1 pound 13 ounces! She spent 46 days with us receiving intensive nutrition therapy with infant formula and received formula in our outpatient until she was 12 months old.
