I would think they'd want to get that message out to people who are concerned. ANyway, I'm glad you got it anyway. Many thanks for this important post. I wrote a post about the importance of breastfeeding in Haiti (and in any place experiencing a natural disaster) too. http://www.breastfeedingmomsunite.com/2010/01/haitis-need-for-breastfeeding/ I’ve just spent the day trying to find out the info you just provided.
