Answer by Dr. Ru: About Humanitarian Emergency usage in lactation

Breastfeeding is the best way for feeding infants suffering of natural disaster. Helping organizations must be committed to protect and promote breastfeeding, warning against the easy resource of artificial formula delivery. See recommendations on such emergency situation released by WHO and IBFAN: http://www.who.int/child-adolescent-health/NUTRITION/difficult_circumstances.asp http://www.ibfan.org/english/activities/emergencies/ife02.aspl
