Dear list
Here is another informative literature review on the issue. It is in
'Breastfeeding Review'.
Morrison P. 1999. HIV and breastfeeding: to breastfeed or not to
breastfeed: the dilemma of competing risks (part 1). Breastfeeding
Review, Vol 7 (no 2) 5-13.
The author seems to live in Zimbabwe, the country with the highest HIV
prevalence rate in the world. Her discussion then is very applicable to
developing nations with high prevalence. She raises some challenging
points - especially about the use of infant formula.
Regards
Caroline Homer
