‘The case for breastfeeding is clear’ according to Kate Evans
This is an excellent article by Kate Evans which was published in The Guardian. Two facts that stand out are that only 1% of British babies are exclusively breastfed up to the age of 6 months and that if 90% of Mums in the USA breastfed exclusively for the first six months, then more than 900 lives would be saved a year. The latter is a shocking statistic when you consider how often you hear people saying that ‘formula doesn’t pose a risk in developed countries’.
