Breastfeeding Awareness Month
The month of August has been decidated as Breastfeeding Awareness Month with the theme of A Vital Emergency Response.
Emergencies come in many forms: tornado, hurricane, domestic violence, thunder storm, flood, terrorism, earthquake, dam leakage, ice storm, gas leak, chemical spills, fire, landslide, etc.
During these times, running water and electricity may not be working properly and road conditions may be bad. If a mother is breastfeeding, she does not have to worry about sterilizing bottles, formula shortages, lack of water to mix formula, etc.
