Wendy do Mercy Corps do this work in the Philippines?? I know they do in Indonesia but I also have seen some pretty dodgy work with infant feeding in emergencies in other countries. Virginia I'm not aware of Oxfam doing any infant feeding in emergencies work.

I've just had confirmation that Save the Children is doing an infant and young child feeding in emergencies program in the Philippines. If you want to help babies sending them $$ (and requesting that it go to their infant feeding program when you do so) will help them to do this. Please share and if you know of other orgs doing infant feeding work there please let me know.
