The organisations supporting IFE in Haiti do in fact do just that. They
don't pay wet nurses but wet nurses will often get additional rations or
access to resources to assist them. Nina Berry (was doing this in Myanmar).
As I mentioned before, the orgs doing infant feeding interventions in Haiti
are: UNICEF, Save the Children, Action Against Hunger and World Vision.
