LIBERIA: Breaking breastfeeding myths
"My first kid died because I breastfed him after my husband had had an affair," Tina Kollie, mother of a seven-month-old in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, told IRIN. She has not breastfed any children since. "[If I breastfeed], whenever my husband has an affair my child gets sick."
