Pediatrics Northwest PS

In the wake of the recent floods in the Midwest, we are reminded that disaster preparedness should always be on the forefront of our minds.  The American Academy of Pediatrics has several disaster preparedness resources, including those related to infant feeding. The needs of children and families are often overlooked during times of disaster and we need to be pro-active in ensuring their safety. Please see below for the available resources from the AAP.
