A malnourished woman in an emergency situation will
produce enough milk to nourish her baby. Milk production
is relatively unaffected in quantity and quality. When a

who suffers, not the infant.
For more information,
contact the breastfeeding peer counselor at the Logan
County Department of Public Health, 217-735-2317, ext.
