In an emergency, breastfeeding remains one of the safest ways to feed your baby. Breast milk provides nutrition and helps protect against illnesses, especially when clean water may be limited.
Be prepared:
✔️ Wash hands with clean water and soap (if no soap and safe water are available, use hand sanitizer)
✔️ Know how to hand express milk
✔️ Stay with your baby when possible
