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.
