Saving Lives…Breastfeeding Orphans in China Disaster
A Chinese police officer has done an extraordinary thing. She has been breastfeeding orphans and other infants whose mothers cannot nurse them following the earthquake in China.
Not often enough do I take the time to bring together two issues that get me fired up: Motherhood and Disasters. I applaud the decision this woman has made and it is a wonderful example of the difference women make in recovery from disaster and protecting the most vulnerable.
