from my mom:
I heard this story in NPR today. This blog is the best picture I could find, though more will probably surface. She recently had a child and is nursing about eight babies the last couple days, who are either orphans or the moms are too traumatized to let down their milk. ( which I have read of happening in other earthquakes in Mexico before) There is apparently no powdered milk or formula in the orphanage in the earthquake area. Perhaps they can find more breastfeeding moms to help.
