Not directly as far as I am aware. I imagine however that their logistics 
people are working hard to control the donations that are coming in which is 
just as important (if not more so) than the hands on work with mothers. 
UNICEF, WHO and WFP put out a joint release yesterday about infant feeding 
in Haiti. I'll paste in below.

Call for support for appropriate
infant and young child feeding in Haiti
UNICEF, WHO and WFP call for support for appropriate infant and young child 
feeding in the
current emergency, and caution about unnecessary and potentially harmful 
donations and use of
breast-milk substitutes
During emergency situations, disease and death rates among under-five 
children are higher than for any
other age group; the younger the infant the higher the risk. Mortality risk 
is particularly high because of
the combined impact of a greatly increased prevalence of communicable 
diseases and diarrhoea and
soaring rates of under-nutrition. Appropriate feeding and care of infants 
and young children is
essential to preventing malnutrition, morbidity and mortality.
Major health problems among Haitian children, which have been exacerbated by 
this crisis, are acute and
chronic malnutrition and communicable diseases. Given the structural damage 
caused by the earthquake
to water supply systems, there is an additional risk of water borne diseases 
affecting large numbers of the
urban, rural and displaced populations. Many infants and young children have 
been orphaned or
separated from their mothers. Risks to children in Haiti are exacerbated by 
pre-earthquake poor infant
and young child feeding practices and malnutrition. In this emergency 
situation, the lifeline offered by
exclusive breastfeeding to children for the first six months of life and 
continued breastfeeding with
complementary feeding for two years or more is of utmost importance and must 
be protected, promoted
and supported as much as possible.
Most mothers initiate breastfeeding in Haiti, and the majority of infants 
less than six months of age were
at least partially breastfed prior to the earthquake. At this stage it is 
critical to encourage and support
mothers to initiate breastfeeding immediately after the delivery, 
exclusively breastfeed up to six months
and for those with infants below six months who 'mix feed' to revert to 
exclusive breastfeeding. Nonbreastfed
infants are at especially high risk and need early identification and 
targeted skilled support,
including re-establishing breastfeeding (relactation).
Protection and support for breastfeeding women
No food or liquid other than breast milk, not even water, is needed to meet 
an infant's nutritional and
fluid requirements during the first six months of life. The valuable 
protection from infection that
breastfeeding confers is all the more important in environments without safe 
water supply and sanitation.
Therefore, creation of a protective environment and provision of skilled 
support to breastfeeding women
are essential interventions. There is a common misconception that in 
emergencies, many mothers can no
longer breastfeed adequately because of stress or inadequate nutrition. 
Concern for these mothers and
their infants can fuel donations of breastmilk substitutes (BMS) such as 
infant formula. Although stress
can temporarily interfere with the flow of breastmilk, it is not likely to 
inhibit breastmilk production,
provided mothers and infants remain together and are supported to initiate 
and continue breastfeeding.
Mothers who lack food or who are malnourished can still breastfeed. 
Provision of adequate fluids and
food for mothers must be a priority as it will help to protect their health 
and well-being as well as that of
their young children.
Basic interventions to facilitate breastfeeding include prioritising mothers 
with young children for
shelter, food, security, and water and sanitation, enabling mother-to-mother 
support, providing specific
space for skilled breastfeeding counselling and support to maintain or 
re-establish lactation. Traumatised
and depressed mothers may have difficulty responding to their infants and 
require particular mental and
emotional support. UNICEF, WHO and other organizations involved in infant 
feeding in emergencies
2
will support training of staff on individual assessment of the best options 
for feeding infants, as well as
education and support of caregivers on optimal infant feeding in these 
emergency circumstances.
Feeding of the non-breastfed child less than six months of age
Infants less than six months of age who are not breastfed need urgent 
identification and targeted skilled
support. The priority to feed these infants should be relactation. If this 
is not possible or when artificial
feeding is indicated by skilled staff such as health providers or infant 
feeding counsellors, breast-milk
substitutes are necessary and must be accompanied by training on hygiene, 
preparation and use to
minimise their associated risks. Artificial feeding in an emergency carries 
high risks of malnutrition,
illness and death and is a last resort only when other safer options have 
first been fully explored.
Any needed breast-milk substitutes should adhere to Codex Alimentarius 
Standards and should be
procured in an efficient and rapid manner, in coordination with UNICEF, the 
nutrition coordinating
agency in Haiti. The preferred type of breast-milk substitute is 
ready-to-use formula. Any distribution
and use of breast-milk substitutes should be carefully monitored to ensure 
that only the designated
infants receive the product. For further information UNICEF should be 
contacted (see contact below).
When breast-milk substitutes are used caregivers should be encouraged and 
taught to feed with a cup and
spoon. Bottles and teats should not be provided as they are more difficult 
to clean. Skilled support by
appropriately trained staff should be provided to caregivers on how to use 
the breast-milk substitute
safely. Because infants' receiving breast-milk substitutes are at increased 
risk for illness, a mechanism
to monitor their health should be established.
Donations and procurement of breast-milk substitutes and other milk products
In accordance with internationally accepted guidelines, donations of infant 
formula, bottles and teats and
other powdered or liquid milk and milk products should not be made. 
Experience with past emergencies
has shown an excessive quantity of products, which are poorly targeted, 
endangering infants' lives. Any
procurement of breast milk substitutes should be based on careful needs 
assessment and in coordination
with UNICEF. Human milk donations while safe when processed and pasteurized 
in a human milk bank
also require fully functioning cold chains. Such conditions are not 
currently met in Haiti and human milk
donations cannot be used at present. All queries and any donations that do 
appear should be directed to
UNICEF, the designated nutrition coordinating agency in Haiti.
Complementary feeding of children above six months of age
Children from the age of six months require nutrient-rich, age-appropriate 
and safe complementary foods
in addition to breast milk. Priority should be placed on locally available, 
culturally acceptable,
nutritionally adequate and age-appropriate foods. When cooking facilities 
are non existent or severely
limited, ready-to-use fortified foods are an option. Micronutrient powders 
that can be added to local
foods, emergency rations or blended foods will also improve dietary quality. 
In addition, once cooking
facilities have been set up, provision of fortified blended food is 
recommended. A monitoring system to
ensure the appropriate targeting, distribution and use of food and food 
products for infants and young
children should be established.
Feeding infants and young children in the context of HIV
Mothers known to be HIV-infected should be supported to exclusively 
breastfeed their infants for the
first six months of life, to introduce appropriate complementary foods 
thereafter, and to continue
breastfeeding for the first 12 months, along with provision of ARVs, as per 
current WHO
recommendations on HIV and infant feeding (see references below). If an 
HIV-positive mother was
already giving her child commercial infant formula, she should receive an 
adequate supply of ready-touse
formula and support. A separate guidance is being prepared for the situation 
in Haiti.
Treatment of severe acute malnutrition
Treatment of severely malnourished children, whether facility or community 
based, should be
implemented in accordance with international standards and best practice and 
closely monitored.
Specially formulated therapeutic milks F75 and F100 and ready to use 
therapeutic food are required.

Conclusion
UNICEF, WHO and WFP strongly urge all who are involved in funding, planning 
and implementing the
emergency response in Haiti to avoid unnecessary illness and death by 
promoting, protecting and
supporting breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding and by 
preventing uncontrolled
distribution and use of breast-milk substitutes. Public and private sector 
entities and individuals who
wish to support infants and young children and their mothers and caregivers 
in this emergency should
donate funds rather than send goods. We further urge governments and 
partners to include capacity
building for breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding as part of 
emergency preparedness and
planning, and to commit financial and human resources for appropriate and 
timely protection, promotion
