ILCA has some great information on breastfeeding in emergencies and will have more as this year's WBW theme packet becomes available.

My mother-baby hospital supervisor just came from an inservice given by a national company on emergencies.  She told me they told her that in an emergency to get rid of all bottles immediately as they pose a threat to babies when re-used, since clean water supplies are at a premium.  She also said that they needed to plan for ~gallon water/person/day, but for a bottle-feeding mothers it increases to 7 gallons of water/mother-baby/day!

  Yippe! All babies must then be breastfed!  Not that most of ours (about 95+% ) are already breastfed.  I found that interesting.
