I said  that I didn't feel that the poster's presentation on breastfeeding 
was an  appropriate part of that specific presentation. That's  all.






I am sorry you felt that way Betsy, but after learning all I did in  here 
post Katrina, I believe it was a very appropriate part of the  presentation.  I 
for one was horribly upset to see the mother on the cover  of one of the 
magazines who was holding a empty dirty bottle and had a screaming  infant who was 
obviously in the newborn phase and the idea to put the baby to  breast seemed 
to never cross the woman's mind.  With my education that  would have been my 
first response, however many women had no idea that they  could get their milk 
back in a relatively short period of time, compared to how  long those people 
waited for relief in the Superdome.  The option HAS got  to be a vital role in 
emergency preparedness presentations.  The word MUST  get out.  Even as 
unpopular an idea as it is.  There  will probably come a day when a volcano will 
erupt, an earthquake will  quake, when a tornado will hit, when another hurricane 
will blow.  This  isn't a "maybe"  this is reality.  One that must be 
addressed and  prepared for.  I for one will not sit idly by and let  others continue 
misinformation, when I know a better way that may save a baby  down the road. 
 And if my knowledge saves just one baby, then it is all  worth while.
