Natural Catastrophe

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Breastfeeding is the best way for feeding infants suffering of natural disaster. Helping organizations must be committed to protect and promote breastfeeding, warning against the easy resource of artificial formula delivery. See recommendations on such emergency situation released by WHO and IBFAN:

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Natural Catastrophe since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
