>Before the earthquake struck, Pakistan's national breastfeeding rate was 93
per cent. In quake-affected areas, that rate has dropped in recent months as
a result of the trauma of deaths and illnesses, the difficulties of
displacement and inadequate food supplies -- all factors that have
challenged women's ability to maintain exclusive breastfeeding for their
infants. <
