Except the chances are good this mum was still lactating. It is refreshing
to see the lack of resources being acknowledged as the problem (rather than
a lack of formula).

Holly Phelan, 21, clutching her three-week-old baby told how she she
staggered home from a shopping mall to find her house a mess and without
electricity.
A neighbour heated up water on his barbeque so she could warm the baby's
milk.
Holly was with her mother Diane Burke, who battled through cracked and
congested roads to reach her daughter and granddaughter when her own home
was destroyed.
"Everthing was on the floor at my place, the TVs were smashed and the place
is structurally damaged. My whole life was in ruins and then when I saw
Holly's place we came here."
They have now been forced to find alternative accommodation far north of
Christchurch as the welfare centre, in a city still hit by power cuts, lacks
the facilities for them to safely feed and care for the baby
