As the Company that helps mothers and fathers raise happy, healthy babies, Gerber Products Company knows that breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for young babies, and confers other benefits as well. Breastfeeding can help lower a baby's risk for developing allergies and infections and may even decrease his or her risk of obesity later in life. Breastfeeding is a wonderful opportunity for bonding between mother and child.

Gerber makes a line of products that support and enhance the breastfeeding experience. Gerber is committed to abiding by the aims and principles of the World Health Organization (WHO) Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes. Gerber's Start Healthy Stay Healthy™ program offers information to parents and caregivers about the importance of starting good nutrition early, first by breastfeeding, and later by providing a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
