To be perfectly honest, I think that breastfeeding mothers would already 
know that and I am not at all surprised that a man would not include that 
in his emergency preparedness presentation. He was merely covering all of 
his bases. The concept of berastfeeding really had absolutely nothing to 
do with his presentation.

Relactation is not going to work in the event of an emergency and it 
certainly is not going to be instantaneous enough to be beneficial in an 
emergency situation.

I am a huge proponent of breastfeeding of course, but I am not sure that 
your information as you presented it was at all appropriate at that 
particular point in time.

Please don't let his presentation bother you. You are coming at a subject 
that had little to do with his topic at hand.

I don't mean to offend you but I would hope that you would see the 
difference and not be bothered by what he said. There are a lot of formula 
feeding mothers out there (whether or not we like or agree with that) and 
he is correct in what he says are priorities for a large portion of those 
with small babies.
