If you have any milk, dip a corner of cloth into it, baby will suck the milk out of the cloth, repeat as necessary.

It is not however a matter of opinions...it is a matter of facts, logic, instincts, processes, programs, biology, reason, and the birth of billions of babies compared to in this case 72.

Sarge,

Babies can slow down their metabolism and actually put themselves in a state of near coma in order to conserve energy. Not so long time ago, a couple got lost in the mountains with an infant. The man went to look for help at some point, and the woman staid in a little cave...the baby survived by the mother drawling in the mouth of the baby from time to time for she was not able to breast feed anymore.

Babies can survive days without any nourishment which should give the survival party time to figure something out.

Thanks for the reminder, VW, I Saw that on "I Shouldn't Be Alive: Science of Survival", Les Stroud was the guest expert on that one!
