Breastfeeding & Donating in a Crisis
If you are like me, you may be wondering how to help when people, particularly mothers and children are displaced, are in transit, and are refugees. It’s intuitive and true that infants and young children are so vulnerable in crisis. It is so heartbreaking.
This resource was motivated by the crisis in Ukraine, though it applies to humanitarian crises around the world.
It may surprise you, that in many instances, breastfeeding creates food security for infants right here at home. In a crisis, Infants who are NOT breastfeeding are particularly vulnerable and need special help.
