I know this is intended for women to use for themselves, but it would be a 
shame to neglect the opportunity to mention supporting breastfeeding in 
emergency situations.  There are a number of resources, including a long 
document from WHO.  The military of many countries are often in situations 
where they have first contact with women in refugee and other disaster 
situations. Breastfeeding in disaster situations -- be they natural events 
or conflicts or refugee situations -- is life-saving and health promoting 
for infants and young children.  Having a soldier who has some insight on 
the front line could make a difference in the crucial early days of the 
event. 

Just a thought,
Magda Sachs, PhD.
