INFANT FEEDING MATTERS IN A DISASTER..
Infants and young children are vulnerable in emergencies and are at high risk for malnutrition, infection, and death. Pregnant and postpartum women have special health, nutrition, and psychological needs in emergencies. In an effort to improve infant, maternal, and community health outcomes during and after disasters, the New Orleans Breastfeeding Center developed an emergency infant feeding program called Infant Ready.
