This doesn't seem too breastfeeding friendly.  How awful to have to leave 
your baby behind at the hospital, and then they are airlifted elsewhere without 
you!

In a stunning example of how desperate the situation has become, 25 babies 
who had been in a makeshift neonatal intensive care unit at New Orleans' Ochsner 
Clinic were airlifted Wednesday to hospitals in Houston, Baton Rouge, La., 
and Birmingham, Ala. Many were hooked up to battery-operated breathing machines 
keeping them alive.
Their parents had been forced to evacuate and leave the infants behind; by 
late in the day, most if not all had been contacted and told where their babies 
were being taken, said hospital spokeswoman Katherine Voss.
"We actually encouraged them to leave. It would just be more people to 
evacuate if there was a problem," said Dr. Vince Adolph, a pediatric surgeon.
