Let me just add a few comments to complement that article. Buy only what you normally buy and use. So, I will only have enough powdered milk for some recipes he's not aware contain powdered milk. In addition, I plan on filling water bottles with water and placing them in the freezer several days in advance. This way, I will have frozen bottles to use as freeze packs in cooling perishable items and when the bottles of ice melt, I'll have bottles of usable water.
Babies can survive on cold jars of baby food and easily stored items like dry baby cereal.
This is much easier and practical than starting up a propane stove just to warm baby's pureed carrots. Of course, if you're not breastfeeding you'll want to make sure you have a safe way of storing and preparing formula. Even for the strictest breastfeeding mother, it is always wise to have a few cans of formula in case of an unforeseen emergency. Next is water , something we all use more of than we realize. Store water at a rate of at least 2 gallons per person per day.
