No, stress won't dry up your milk. How to keep breastfeeding your baby in an emergency

Although babies don’t understand the nature of emergencies such as bushfires, floods and cyclones, they and their mothers are impacted.

Key Points: 
  • Although babies don’t understand the nature of emergencies such as bushfires, floods and cyclones, they and their mothers are impacted.
  • But mothers can find it difficult to breastfeed during emergencies, and may believe stress affects their milk supply.

Demand and supply

    • After birth, the breasts automatically make milk to feed the baby, but over time they change to a demand and supply way of working.
    • This means that when the baby feeds and milk is removed from the breasts, the breasts make more milk.
    • Babies drink the milk made in the breasts with the help of a hormone called oxytocin.

Stress doesn’t impact milk production

    • However, mothers often worry that the stress of an emergency has reduced their milk supply.
    • Although stress won’t hamper a mother’s milk supply, it can temporarily reduce oxytocin release, slowing the flow of milk.

Some challenges

    • Emergencies like bushfires and floods are difficult for everyone, but can be especially challenging for parents of babies and toddlers.
    • For breastfeeding mothers, the busyness of an emergency and a lack of privacy may mean they miss their baby’s cues or delay breastfeeding.

How can I keep breastfeeding through an emergency?

    • Keeping your baby close, breastfeeding frequently, and drinking enough water will protect your milk supply.
    • If you stopped breastfeeding because of an emergency, it’s possible to start again if you want to.
    • The free national breastfeeding helpline is available 24/7 and is a good place to find support.

Preparing for an emergency

    • Make an emergency plan that includes packing an evacuation kit, leaving early and evacuating to a relative or friend’s home rather than an evacuation centre if possible.
    • Here's what to put in your emergency kit

      Anything emergency responders can do to reduce the burden of the emergency on mothers, such as prioritising them for services and offering them private spaces in evacuation centres, will help them to care for and breastfeed their babies.

    • A free e-learning module for emergency responders on disaster support for babies, toddlers and their caregivers is available here.

There's a thriving global market in turtles, and much of that trade is illegal

In August 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an advisory about an 11-state outbreak of salmonella bacteria linked to pet turtles.

Key Points: 
  • In August 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an advisory about an 11-state outbreak of salmonella bacteria linked to pet turtles.
  • Global trade in turtles is big business, and the U.S. is a leading source, destination and transit country.
  • I also use the global wildlife trade to teach important ecological concepts and research skills.
  • Here’s what we know about trade in turtles and how it threatens their survival.

Life in the slow lane

    • Most turtles reach reproductive maturity late in life and have relatively few eggs, not all of which produce successful offspring.
    • To put this in context, compare a common female snapping turtle from the northern U.S. with a female white-tailed deer.
    • It can take a female turtle her entire life to generate one or two offspring that in turn reach adulthood and replace her in the population.
    • Terrapins reside in brackish water zones, where rivers flow into oceans and bays, and feed heavily on snails.

In global demand

    • Today, people use turtles as pets; sources of food, jewelry and other curios; and in traditional medicines and religious and cultural practices.
    • Fish and Wildlife Service, nearly 127 million turtles were exported just from the U.S. between 2002 and 2012.
    • There’s no good way to quantify how many native turtles are harvested from the wild.
    • Historic demand for sea turtles, diamondback terrapins and snapping turtles as food led to such crashes in populations that management agencies had to regulate their harvesting.
    • To curb pressure on wild populations, state agencies are prohibiting or limiting personal collection and possession of native turtles.

Black market turtles

    • For example, in 2019 a Pennsylvania man was sentenced to six months in prison and fined $250,000 for trafficking thousands of protected diamondback terrapins.
    • Rare species such as wood turtles and Blanding’s turtles, as well as uniquely patterned individual turtles, command top value on the black market.
    • Between 1998 and 2021, U.S. enforcement agencies intercepted at least 24,000 protected freshwater turtles and tortoises from 34 native species that were being illegally traded across the U.S.

How to help


    To curtail the illegal turtle trade, regulators are working to strengthen regulations and increase enforcement. Private citizens can also help reduce the demand and protect wild turtles. Here are some simple steps:

Key Points: 
  • For example, we need to identify suitable clothing, increase our fluid intake, and understand how to best keep the house cool.
  • These and other factors mean, for someone with dementia, extreme heat can be deadly.

El Niño means there are challenges ahead

    • The recent declaration of another El Niño means we need to think about how we can best support those more vulnerable to be safe during the warmer months.
    • Extreme heat and bushfires bring unique challenges for someone with dementia.
    • Emergency evacuations can also be confusing and distressing for a person with dementia, so it is important to think ahead.

Why are people with dementia more at risk?

    • Problems with memory and thinking associated with dementia means remembering to drink or communicating you are thirsty can be challenging.
    • But if someone with dementia becomes dehydrated this can increase confusion and agitation, making it harder for them to know how to cool down.
    • A person with dementia can also wander and become lost, which can be dangerous in extreme heat.

4 ways to support someone with dementia

    • Some air-conditioners have complex settings so make sure the temperature is set appropriately and the person with dementia knows how to use the controls.
    • Try to support the person to make suitable clothing choices for the season by having cool, lightweight options easily available.
    • Think about communications early If someone with dementia lives alone, consider how you will maintain contact in an emergency.
    • If the person with dementia attends a day or respite centre, know their plan too.
    • Read more:
      Floods and other emergencies can be extra tough for people with dementia and their carers.

We can all help


    It’s not just carers of people with dementia who can help. We can all ensure people with dementia stay safe and cool this spring and summer. So remember to check in on your relatives, friends and neighbours or arrange for someone to do so on your behalf.
