For any of you who are in the disaster area, here is the link to the WHO
document, Infant feeding in emergencies - a guide for mothers.  If you have
access to a printer, so much the better, but it is 48 pages long.

There are bound to be thousands of babies affected by this disaster, in a
culture where breastfeeding is far from the norm.  If just one mother and
baby are helped by this information, it's worth it.  The challenge of
getting the necessary supplies in place to artificially feed babies without
putting them in imminent danger, boggles my mind.  It must be at least as
staggering as the notion of relactation.

Meanwhile, we are all thinking of you (Laurie?  Karen Z?), and hoping you
will keep us posted about how and where you are, as circumstances permit.
