Note from Josh: I bet you’re pretty surprised to see a post about breastfeeding on Unprepared. I know I am! But Amazon and Walmart are warning that the baby formula shortage will last through 2022.

As preppers, we need to be ready for anything, whether it’s the threat of nuclear war or simply keeping our children fed. And for many of us, the entire reason we prep is to protect our children.

Many are asking, “Why don’t mothers just breastfeed?” The reality is that breastfeeding isn’t easy, and many women don’t always get the advice, resources, and support they need to do it. I know: my wife Hannah has been breastfeeding for nine continuous years through three children, each with their own challenges.

Our daughter, born in June of 2021, was our most challenging yet, and Hannah struggled for months to get her to breastfeed. We visited many lactation consultants and other specialists. The lactation consultant we ended up with was so amazed by my wife’s dedication that she called her a “breastfeeding goddess,” so I asked Hannah to write up everything she knows about breastfeeding.

We understand that some mothers are already formula feeding and so telling them to just breastfeed isn’t helpful. This article is for the moms who are struggling with breastfeeding now or who are going to deliver their babies soon and need support to get started.
