Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Response

Are you ready?

OBJECTIVES OF WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 2009:

To draw attention to the vital role that breastfeeding plays in emergencies worldwide.

To stress the need for active protection and support of breastfeeding before and during emergencies.

To inform mothers, breastfeeding advocates, communities, health professionals, governments, aid agencies, donors, and the media on how they can actively support breastfeeding before and during an emergency.

To mobilise action and nurture networking and collaboration between those with breastfeeding skills and those involved in emergency response.

RATIONALE

Children are the most vulnerable in emergencies – child mortality can soar from 2 to 70 times higher than average due to diarrhoea, respiratory illness and malnutrition.

Breastfeeding is a life saving intervention and protection is greatest for the youngest infants.

The Inevitable

A week ago today, I had the most wonderful time interviewing over 15 people for a project going on at NJIT. The interviewees were very receptive and had a lot of fun with the interviews. I'll keep you posted on where the interviews will show up later in the Fall.



I'll end with my favorite quote, "you can't stop the inevitable".
