Relief Web: Emergency Operations Center Situation Report #13 - Haiti
Earthquake

(partial quote - this is the only reference to breastfeeding - see link for
the full report)

 

"Beginning this week, women in informal settlements are being trained as
breastfeeding counselors. They will identify pregnant and lactating mothers,
and support them to continue breastfeeding, which is essential for good
health and nutrition for babies, particularly in emergency settings. This
will help prevent future cases of malnourished children."

 

(there is a link at site above, to a PDF Full Report which has a bit more
general information - nothing more on infant feeding specifically)
