Do you know that your generous donations of breastmilk substitutes could do more harm than good?

These pages aim to raise awareness about, and encourage an appropriate response to infant feeding in emergencies. They highlight the importance of protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding in emergency situations.

These pages are intended for policy makers, programme managers and field workers from agencies involved in emergency relief, donors, journalists, and other interested parties.
