But you'd reckon that they could get past the breastfeeding is best rhetoric and say straight out that formula feeding in dangerous in an emergency wouldn't you?

Those of you putting together press releases for WBW might like to include info on what parents who are formula feeding should store in prep for emergencies
These are: extra formula, 3L of extra water per feed (ie about 24L per day for making up the formula, cleaning utensils and hands), detergent for washing, a stove for boiling water for constituting feeds and cleaning, fuel for the stove, a kettle and pot for boiling water and a cleanable storage and preparation area (like a large plastic box).
