'It's child abuse if you don't breastfeed'
January 17 2003

Mothers, except those who are HIV-positive, who deliberately avoid
breastfeeding their babies are guilty of "child abuse".

This is the view of Dr Neil Moran, chairperson of the Breastfeeding
Committee of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Phoenix.

Moran, Sister Vanitha Naidoo, trainer and co-ordinator of the hospital's
breastfeeding programme, and their team, recently won a "Baby Friendly"
award from the World Health Organisation and United Nations Children's Fund.
