First, my prayers go out to every mother and baby in danger - from all
causes, in all countries. 

 

At the recent ILCA conference, Dr. Miriam Labbok concisely summarized the 4
most important issues in emergency situations:

 

*      IMMEDIATE ACTIONS NECESSARY IN EMERGENCIES:

1.      Safe corners/safe havens for pregnant and lactating women 

2.      Relactation support

3.      Control (lock up) donations of milk powders/formula until need can
be assessed and alternative use determined.

4.      Plan breastfeeding maintenance and relactation support into
therapeutic feeding approach
