Hi Terriann,
Who gave the inservice? Sounds like it was good.

Subject: breastfeeding in emergencies


ILCA has some great information on breastfeeding in emergencies and will 
have more as this year's WBW theme packet becomes available.

My mother-baby hospital supervisor just came from an inservice given by a 
national company on emergencies. She told me they told her that in an 
emergency to get rid of all bottles immediately as they pose a threat to 
babies when re-used, since clean water supplies are at a premium. She also 
said that they needed to plan for ~gallon water/person/day, but for a 
bottle-feeding mothers it increases to 7 gallons of water/mother-baby/day!

Yippe! All babies must then be breastfed! Not that most of ours (about 
95+% ) are already breastfed. I found that interesting.
