Haiti: Reservist Gives Breastmilk to Babies

Coast Guard Lieutenant Teresa Wolf is truly giving of herself in Haiti... by
sharing her breastmilk with tiny earthquake victims.

A few times a day, the lactating reservist pumps her breasts then delivers
her milk to the USS Comfort, a floating hospital anchored off the coast of
Port-au-Prince. There, it is being used to feed injured infants.

Wolf says she knew when she received her orders to go to Haiti that she
would be able to help in this unique way.  She gave birth to a daughter,
Chloe Danielle, just 10 weeks ago.  She refers to her operation as "Chloe's
Milk" because her baby is giving to the cause as well.  While her mother is
deployed, Chloe is drinking just one bottle of stored breastmilk a day and
is supplemented with formula.  She is being cared for by her godmother.

When not essentially pumping life into needy babies, Lt Wolf runs the
medical office for Port Security Unit 307 on the so-called "Coast Guard
Island" in the Port-au-Prince harbor.  Back home in Goldsboro, North
Carolina, Teresa is a Physician's Assistant and also mother to a
four-year-old son, Connor.
