We wrote this one for emergency managers. “Anchored in Writing: Putting Infant Feeding Into Your Policies and Procedures” by Ashley Mickelson and Love Anderson of the SAFE Team is in the November 2026 IAEM Bulletin, the journal of the International Association of Emergency Managers. It starts on page 17, and it is free to read.
The message is simple. You do not need a new plan. You need infant feeding written into the documents you already keep, so that on the day of the storm everyone knows whose job it is to make sure babies and toddlers are fed safely.
