Post-earthquake in Yogyakarta in May 2006, formula milk donation was given in seven of the districts badly damaged. Nearly 80% of infants aged 0-2 years consume aid formula, which causes babies before getting breast milk (ASI) switched to formula milk. According to the UN agency for research affairs of children (UNICEF), "The case of diarrhea in children under two years more than double those who did not receive aid formula".

UNICEF for nutrition specialists Anna Winoto stated that in Bogor, the beginning of August, in discussions and workshops journalists titled "Infant Formula and Baby Food Donation: Sincere or Fake?" Held at Hotel Novotel, Bogor, West Java. The event was held with the cooperation of UNICEF, Mercy Corps and Koji present among health experts and disaster management agencies.

Dr. Utami Roesli the Indonesian Lactation Center administrators say, "One big mistake, in the disaster victim's mother breastfeeding difficult issue due to post-disaster trauma. For, in whatever condition is naturally a mother can still breastfeed. The problem is, many mothers who are tempted by dairy products which are full of misleading advertising. Though the formula that many outstanding nutritional value no better than animal milk though. Not to mention how to use, bottles and nipples that are used for drinking if not sterile even trigger a variety of harmful bacteria. Thus, there is nothing better than exclusive breastfeeding.

Chairman of Perinatologi Union Indonesia (Perinasia) Dr. Asti said something similar with Praborini. "Members of highly educated mothers are still there even misguided. Still it was thought her son would be foolish to not drink milk formula, and breastfeeding is not merely giving nutrients, but also involves the element of emotion for children, "he said.

Health workers were not given information about the benefits of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding is right for mothers. Not infrequently there is a recommended formula feeding and the suggestion is often followed by mothers whose level of knowledge and awareness of the importance of breast milk is still low.

Meanwhile, the Sphere Project Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response recorded milk powder or liquid milk distributed as a single commodity should not be included in a distribution of additional food brought home because of careless use will lead to serious health hazards. This is particularly relevant in the case of small children, who are at high risk of improper dilution and bacterial contamination.

Bad facts about formula feeding occurs due to a lack of information about it. Risk reduction can occur even when the dissemination of information regarding exclusive breastfeeding can be properly socialized to all levels of society. Ironically, the news circulated in the media about the need for more emphasis on disaster formula in many, even though their number is not supported with concrete data on how the urgency of need and whether it helps the health needs of children.
