World Health Organisation recommends that babies should be exclusively breastfed for at least six months after birth.
Kenya’s breastfeeding rates stand at an impressive 60 per cent, with many experts attributing this high prevalence to initiatives such as the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and Baby-Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI) which aim at creating conducive environments for breastfeeding at the hospital and community levels respectively.
