Mandatorily breast feeding the recommended form of
Pediatric feeding and nutrition with almost no exception
except in eventualities quite unbearable as hereunder
highlighted. To date the would-be breast-feeding pattern
of at least two years has been critically and inevitably
skewed courtesy of serious arising issues prevalent in most
African societies such as;
HIV/AIDS ‐SCOURGE:
Itshighlyprevalenceimpliesnumerable
cases of positively living breast feeding mothers. Accordingly,
these ones have always seen directed to feed their babies on
only breast milk an issue that seems to be bothering most
as they do believe the best idea would be to totally resort to
other feeding methods since the moms’ bodies are already
infected.
SOCIO‐ECONOMIC ISSUES:
With an average local in most
of African societies living on income of less than a dollar
per day, most mothers can hardly afford to have enough
time to breast feed and others totally have no time at all
to do so as they’re normally breast winners in their life
respective households.
OTHER SERIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS WARS, DEMISE
(ANTENATAL PASSING ON OF MOMS OR SERIOUS
INFECTIOUS DISEASES:
In some cases, given the poor standards of care at birth,
moms have passed on while giving birth and in some
limited cases would-be breast-feeding moms have been
diagnosed with serious infectious diseases and as such
have been totally denied the chance to breast feed their
babies. All in all, given the prevalent health care standards,
socio‐economic status and also local knowledge levels in
most societies in Uganda as a case study of most African
societies it’s clear that a considerable percentage of infants
aren’t breast fed effectively and thus explains the high
prevalence of infant disorders and diseases related to
malnutrition.
