My son is currently serving in eastern Afganistan. He just told me the hospital near where he is stationed was using one baby bottle for all their babies - they were just washing it in between. Well, here, I'll just post what he wrote:
"I usually write asking for stuff for me and my pals. This time I am asking for stuff for people at the hospital here. Particularly the babies.
I wanted to know if you, or anyone, could send a few baby bottles and maybe some pacifiers. The hospital here was using one bottle for any baby that needed treatment here and just cleaning it but their bottle disappeard. If you could help and send a few that would be awesome.
They could use some pacifiers too!"
If you would like to help out with this little operation, PM me and I will give you the address to send them to him.
Thanks, so much!

ON EDIT: MAILING INFO
I've had a couple questions about mailing, so here's what I know about mailing to Afganistan. My son has an APO address, so the cost would be the same as if you were mailing within the U.S. Priority mail takes about 7 - 10 days. I don't know how long parcel post takes. You will have to attach a customs form to your package, (provided by the post office), listing the contents and just mark it as a gift. That's it.
I would post his address here, but I need to ask him if it's o.k. first. So, again, just PM me, if you are interested in helping. Thanks so much! You guys are great!
