Breastfeeding mother in Haiti

I saw this photo this morning and thought it was worth sharing...

Renante Taris breast feeds her son Erikson at a hospital in ... - Yahoo! News Photos

Beautiful... yet sad at the same time!

thanks for sharing!

and to think that if it was on FB it would be removed!!

Beautiful... So great that in such a sad time the babies and children can be nourished without fear of infection and disease.
Awesome pic, thanks Heaven

Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing..

I agree with Oztar, Beautiful but sad :(

Broke my heart when I saw it this morning...I want to go there and feed all those precious babies...what a strong powerful picture.

That bought tears to my eyes, the pain in the mothers face but she still carries on for her baby.

How sad. Makes me wish I could do more :(

That brings tears to my eyes

This is a timely reminder of how important it is to encourage and support bfing in developing countries, where disasters like this have serious health implications for babies and toddlers. This mum is providing her toddler with exactly what he needs, both in terms of nutrition and comfort, during such a difficult time.

Just imagine what it must be like for those struggling to find clean water to make up formula for their babies. :( Now that must be truly heartbreaking.

That's a photo full of mixed emotions isn't it? Such a wonderful thing she is doing for her son yet so sad when you see the circumstances it is under. :(
When it all happened I was thinking exactly what you said above Jennifer. About how many bubs would be being FF and suffering because of that.

Such a moving photo!

oh that is gorgeous, that little boy looks very content and comforted even though he has an obvious injury.

What do you think FB would do if I posted the link on my FB page??

I first saw the pic on someones FB, and I've posted it on my page too, nothing's happened!
