WHO – Infant Feeding in Emergencies: A Guide for Mothers (Russian pdf)
“This booklet is designed to help you if you are a mother, soon-to-be a mother, or want to help one of your friends or relatives to breastfeed their baby. Once you have finished with this booklet, please pass it on to a friend who needs help to breastfeed her baby. The concept for this booklet was born during the last war in Europe, in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1994, when it was clear many mothers had become so accustomed to bottle-feeding that most women had lost their knowledge on how to breastfeed. Although originally developed for mothers during emergency situations, we at WHO are hopeful and confident that this booklet can be of use to all mothers everywhere.”
