Breastfeeding in emergencies

Natural disasters as well as man-made emergencies are inevitable. Breastfeeding is a main precaution mothers can take in order to secure their childrens health and well-being in all circumstances. Artificial infant milks can be unavailable or it may be impossible to prepare or feed it safely. In the coming cold season it can easily happen to get struck in traffic for longer then planned. Make sure there's always a clean set of diapers and clothing in the car, as well as lots of drinking water and a blanket for each person. For infant and toddler food and drinks in the form of breastfeeding are ready available. Make sure to feed often to avoid dehydration and to ensure sufficient milk production. In the event of major natural disasters like earthquakes or floods, when it may take quite some time for help to arrive and the supply of fresh water and energy may be out of order for prolonged periods, breastfeeding is the best care for young children. Unlike the common beliefs stress will not dry milk up or prevent women to breastfeed and women who were not breastfeeding prior the the disaster can relactate.
