Barbara wisely  says:
 
<<If the  artificial baby milk industry truly had the best interests of the 
survivors  at heart, they would donate money to the Aid organizations who 
have  
assessment teams in place and truly know and understand what is needed at  
each 
stage of recovery.>>

 
 
And if they really felt  that formula was the best donation, they would give 
ready to feed formula in  disposable bottles -- i.e. donate large amounts of 
RTF in the same bottles that  they use in the hospitals.  No water needed for 
mixing, no water needed for  washing/cleaning the bottles.  And while they are 
at it, they can donate  thousands of those disposable nipples.  
 
Of course, I really think  all women should be told that when they choose to 
formula feed, they ought to  breastfeed a few times a day "just in case."  You 
never know when the  electricity is going to go, or the clean water is going 
to be contaminated by  clostrosporidium....
 
After all, people are  forever telling breastfeeding mothers that they need 
to give bottles "just in  case...."  Why not reverse it?
