> Coast Guard Lieutenant Teresa Wolf is truly giving of herself in Haiti...
> by
> sharing her breastmilk with tiny earthquake victims.
>
> A few times a day, the lactating reservist pumps her breasts then delivers
> her milk to the USS Comfort, a floating hospital anchored off the coast of
> Port-au-Prince. There, it is being used to feed injured infants.
>
> Wolf says she knew when she received her orders to go to Haiti that she
> would be able to help in this unique way. She gave birth to a daughter,
> Chloe Danielle, just 10 weeks ago. She refers to her operation as "Chloe's
> Milk" because her baby is giving to the cause as well. While her mother is
> deployed, Chloe is drinking just one bottle of stored breastmilk a day and
> is supplemented with formula. She is being cared for by her godmother.
>
> When not essentially pumping life into needy babies, Lt Wolf runs the
> medical office for Port Security Unit 307 on the so-called "Coast Guard
> Island" in the Port-au-Prince harbor. Back home in Goldsboro, North
> Carolina, Teresa is a Physician's Assistant and also mother to a
> four-year-old son, Connor.
