Why she dislikes breastfeeding

Breast feeding builds a strong bond between mother and child, breast milk is incomparable to animal milk and the advantages are numerous. However, in rural Rwanda, there are a few peculiar mothers who would rather risk milking their cows than feed their baby with breast milk.  These women are equipped with an arsenal of excuses, when it comes to breastfeeding. While two years is the recommendable age for weaning, unfortunate babies cease to feed on a mom’s breast at three months, it is even worse for those babies who have never suckled on a mother’s breast.
