Taking it a step further, I'm thinking about John's question. All
answers so far have been from a leading country, with access to the
usual items such as formulas and soy milk.

What if that baby were from a third-world country and the mother died?
How would the baby live? Or would it? Would there be something on
which a young baby could survive?
