Anne, all great questions, and many that I have myself. Living in the hurricane belt, I am continuously challenged to help the clients I work with think "bigger" in terms of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and how a hurricane can impact our choices and health.

I am attending a community panflu training next week and hope to hear that perinatal health and breastfeeding are being specifically addressed, but I am not hopeful. I have little to nothing for input myself at this point either, but at least hope to raise the questions.
