World Breastfeeding Week: 'I told myself I would never deny my children exclusive breastfeeding'

Before Josina Auma got married five years ago, she had imagined she would exclusively breastfeed her future children for the maximum number of months recommended by medical experts; six months.

She says: "My children must be like my older sister's children, who were exclusively breastfed. I lived with her when she started having babies, and I can attest to all the benefits her children derived from being exclusively breastfed. None of them ever fell seriously ill while growing up, much less spent a night in a hospital. Because of all this, I told myself that I would never deny my children exclusive breastfeeding."
