    Chillin' with Ceres Chill: Safe Infant Feeding in Emergencies

    Join us for our very first Chillin with Ceres Chill interview with the incredible Love Anderson, a passionate parent and breastfeeding advocate, La Leche League Leader and Director of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities.Love was hands-on during the devastation in North Carolina in 2024, and saw firsthand the struggles that parents with young children faced. She’s here to help us understand what we as parents can do to better prepare for emergencies, and what to keep in mind if you’re breastfeeding or formula feeding. These might be things that you’re already doing (like having an emergency kit) or things that you haven’t even thought of - like having a baby carrier to transport your baby when the streets are unsafe to walk on. Timestamps:01:43:18 - The Devastation in North Carolina03:21:16 - Safe Infant Feeding in Emergency Situations07:32:17 - Does Breastfeeding Provide an Advantage During an Emergency?09:35:21 - What Should You Do if You're Struggling to Feed During a Crisis?10:36:06 - What Kind of Resources are Available?11:13:14 - Are There Any Myths/Misconceptions About Breastfeeding During an Emergency?14:15:28 - How Can You Safely Prepare Formula When Clean Water Isn't Available?16:19:27 - Safe Alternatives to Breastfeeding or Formula Feeding19:16:09 - What's an Ideal Emergency Kit?25:33:25 - What Can Local Communities Do?28:53:04 - Immediate Steps to Take if You're Struggling to Feed33:36:05 - Incorporating Preparedness Into Your Everyday LifeKEY TAKEAWAYS:For parents, especially those with children under three, having an emergency kit is essential. Love recommends including: ✅ A baby carrier ✅ Unscented bleach (for sanitizing infant feeding gear) ✅ A mesh bag (for drying baby bottles or pump parts) ✅ A bottle brush ✅ A container for washing feeding supplies Emergency Infant Feeding & Sanitation Guide:Sanitizing Water for Safe Drinking Use unscented household bleach (5.25–8.25% sodium hypochlorite). For clear water: Add 2 drops per quart (8 drops per gallon). For cloudy water: Add 4 drops per quart (16 drops per gallon). Filter if possible. Stir well, let sit for 30 minutes, then check for a slight chlorine smell. If absent, repeat and wait another 15 minutes. Sterilizing Baby Bottles & Utensils Wash items with soap and water; rinse thoroughly. Mix 1 tablespoon of unscented bleach with 1 gallon of water. Submerge items for 2 minutes, ensuring no air bubbles remain. Remove and air dry—do not rinse; any bleach residue will evaporate. 💙 Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more expert interviews and insights on infant feeding & emergency preparedness!Important links:https://www.cereschill.com/blogs/news/chillin-with-ceres-chill-safe-infant-feeding-during-emergencieshttps://www.cereschill.com/blogs/news/natural-disasters-and-emergencies-how-to-keep-your-milk-safeSocial Media:IG: https://www.instagram.com/cereschill/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/cereschill/
