Hold Onto Your Breast Milk For Now

     Now they are asking women who want to donate their breast milk not to because of the lack of clean storage space and the electricity it takes to keep it pure and refrigerated.

     According to the news I read today, they don't see any acceptable way to feed these infants from outside Haiti. They need the refrigeration to keep ready made formula and breast milk cold. Although I've seen plenty of ready made formula that didn't have to be refrigerated till the container was opened. They don't want to use powdered formula because they don't have the pure clean water to mix with it.

     They estimate that 200,00 people were killed. I don't know how many babies they need to feed. Some of these organizations are going by the fact that Haitian kids over the age of one who were being breast fed should continue because it's better than formula. They are probably right, but these are emergency conditions out there, so I would think over one year of age they get them some other form of nutrition.
